High up on Manchester United’s blunder list was to let Scott McTominay go on the cheap to Napoli, who under Antonio Conte’s leadership lead Serie A.
Scott McTominay has blossomed and is a key part of Antonio Conte’s success in his first season as Napoli manager. Saturday’s 0 – 3 win over Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi was no exception, the Scottish midfielder was brilliant. Now he is being hailed with a nickname by the club and fans.
The former Manchester United player is enjoying life under Antonio Conte in Serie A.
Scott McTominay has been given a new nickname by Napoli after scoring against former teammate David de Gea on Saturday.The 28-year-old left Old Trafford last summer after spending his entire life at Manchester United. He was sold for 30,5 million euros, in that short time conservative Transfermarkt has increased his value to 40 million euros. (The highest so far)
So far, his time at Napoli has been successful, after playing 18 games he has got a respectable return of five goals and three assists. On Saturday, Gil Azzurri put in another impressive performance at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.
David Neres, McTominay and his former United teammate Romelu Lukaku provided the goals in the 3-0 win over Fiorentina.
While another former Manchester United star, David de Gea, was on the wrong end of the result in Florence. The Italian giants have given the Scot a new nickname.
On Saturday night, Napoli posted on social media a photograph of McTominay celebrating his goal with the caption: “Es un elisir. Scott McTominay, my Blue Label,” translates to “Scotch McTominay, my Blue Label.”
Blue Label is for those who are not completely into alcoholic beverages, a type of whiskey that originated in McTominay’s home country of Scotland.
