Hard-working Midfielder will enjoy summer move Manchester United fans told

Manchester United have just allowed Scott McTominay to leave the club and make a move to Napoli – and according to reporter Iomie Stanley, he could be missed by boss Erik Ten Hag.

He told icfootballnews: McTominay has been a loyal servant to Manchester United since breaking into the first team under José Mourinho in 2017. Over the years, he has established himself as a dependable figure in the midfield, known for his physicality, work rate, and versatility.

‘His ability to operate as a box-to-box midfielder, breaking up play and driving forward, made him a valuable asset in a variety of tactical setups. McTominay’s no-nonsense approach and commitment to the badge were qualities that endeared him to fans and coaches alike.

One of the key reasons McTominay will be missed is his leadership and character on the pitch. Even when the team struggled, McTominay’s passion and determination were evident. He has often been the player to step up in big games, scoring crucial goals and putting in tireless performances. His presence in the dressing room, where he was known to be a positive influence, is something that cannot be easily replaced.

Moreover, McTominay’s versatility made him a valuable squad player. He could fill multiple roles, whether as a defensive midfielder, a central midfielder, or even as an emergency center-back. This flexibility allowed managers to deploy him in different situations, making him a reliable option regardless of the tactical demands.

While McTominay’s departure is a loss for Manchester United, his move to Napoli presents an exciting opportunity for the Scottish international. Serie A offers a different style of football, one that could suit McTominay’s strengths and help him develop further as a player.

Italy’s tactical and defensive-oriented league will allow McTominay to hone his skills in a more structured environment. The emphasis on tactical discipline and positioning in Serie A could help him refine his game, particularly in terms of his defensive awareness and ability to read the play. Under the guidance of a coach like Rudi Garcia, who values hard work and tactical intelligence, McTominay could evolve into an even more complete midfielder.

Off the pitch, the move to Napoli offers McTominay a fresh start in a passionate footballing culture. The atmosphere at Napoli’s Diego Maradona Stadium, coupled with the intense rivalry games, will provide him with the kind of challenges that can elevate his game.

‘Moreover, the opportunity to play in the Champions League with Napoli will expose him to top-level European competition, further enhancing his growth.’
