Scott McTominay found a happy new home in Italy when he sealed his deadline day exit from Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag made quite clear at the time he was reluctant to lose Scott McTominay, ahead of his sale

But while McTominay did start the FA Cup Final, he was not a regular starter at United, and the chance to cash in and boost the club’s FFP accounting was too tempting.

United sold McTominay for a fee of £25 million, with the midfielder joining Serie A side Napoli.

Scott McTominay has no regrets
Barely a week goes by when Scott McTominay is not being praised and Manchester United are not being questioned over his sale.

Paolo di Canio blasted United’s leadership team for making such a perceived error, with McTominay shining in Serie A.

Just this past week Jaap Stam hailed McTominay as a ‘great player’, while a fortnight ago, Erik ten Hag was sacked by Manchester United.

In an interview with The Times, McTominay was asked what he makes of claims Manchester United were wrong let a top academy graduate leave the club.

The Scotland international gave a clear-minded response, saying he is paying no attention to the ongoing discussion at the club he left behind, for his own focus.

McTominay said: “I don’t read the newspapers or social media. That’s something I stay well away from. There’s no reason for me to pay attention to that.

“The past is the past. I’m enjoying my football and just want to do everything in my powers to push my team higher up the table and do my best for my manager in Italy as well.”

Scott McTominay’s record for Napoli
Scott McTominay has become a fan favourite at Antonio Conte’s Napoli, who sit top of Serie A after 12 games.

It is an impressive turnaround for the 2022/23 champions, who slumped to 10th place in 2023/24.

Scott McTominay has three goals in 10 games, an impressive record, two goals in Serie A and one in the Coppa Italia.

McTominay is chasing down a record once set by Denis Law, to become the highest scoring Scottish player in Serie A history.
