Scott McTominay is back to talk about his move to Napoli and what he has learned in the past few months: full statements
Scott McTominay has opened his heart, returning to talk about the move to Napoli and all he has learned in these months under the Partenope sun. His words are a mix of gratitude and ambition, a tale that smacks of passion and dreams to pursue. The Scottish midfielder, who left Manchester United to land in Serie A, revealed how this experience has changed him, not only on the field but also off it.
It’s not just about soccer. McTominay has found a new home in Naples, a new way of experiencing the ball, and it has made him a better player, especially for his native Scotland. His performances earned him the International Player of the Year award from the Scottish Football Writers for the second year in a row, and his goal is clear: to play as long as possible, both for club and national team.

Words that tell a journey not only technical, but also human, in a city like Naples that lives soccer with a unique intensity.
Arriving last summer for about 30.5 million euros, McTominay immediately won over Antonio Conte and the Neapolitan fans. In Serie A, he found more tactical soccer than in the Premier League, and this pushed him to grow: he scored 7 goals and provided 4 assists in 28 appearances, total.
His performance with Scotland is another chapter in this success story. His magnificent performances with the national team earned him the International Player of the Year award from the Scottish Football Writers for the second consecutive year, an accolade that fills him with pride.
“I am so grateful to everyone who helped me on this journey, especially Steve Clarke, because he is the reason I played so well and the reason I love coming to the retreat, because he makes the atmosphere so incredible.”
