This season, McTominay has emerged as Naples’ new, unlikely folk hero. The Scottish midfielder surpassed all his expectations from Manchester United when he joined the summer, dragging Napoli to the title and was named the league’s MVP for his efforts.

“I was thinking a bit. If I let these people down, it would be something we’ve been carrying with us for a long time.”
