Scott McTominay matches impressive Man United record as he fires Napoli towards Serie A title Scott McTominay's stunning Serie A season continued as he scored his tenth goal for Napoli, matching his highest ever tally in a campaign. On Saturday, he netted in their 1-0 triumph over Monza, taking them level on points with Serie A leaders Inter Milan on 71 points. 2 McTominay made his Man United senior debut during the 2016/17 season and went on to play 255 matches for them Credit: Getty Substitute Giacomo Raspadori, on the corner of the box, curled in a cross to McTominay who nodded the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper with 18 minutes to go. It comes just five days after the 28-year-old scored a double against Empoli, his first a long range effort, the second a well-met header. The goals sandwiched a Romelu Lukaku effort in a 3-0 victory that helped Napoli stay in the title hunt after a poor run of form. Last season at Manchester United, McTominay hit ten goals to, scoring seven in the Premier League, two in the FA Cup and one in the Champions League. Now he has the opportunity to score even more with five games left in a thrilling debut season in Italy. “We just have to keep doing our job, keep winning. At the business end of the season that’s what you got to do,” McTominay said after the win over Monza. “It’s getting that level every game. We have a coach who is very, very demanding who expects that from us every game. So for us it’s about pressuring Inter Milan and seeing where that gets us.” The Scotland midfielder has been a revelation for Antonio Conte having joined from Manchester United in the summer for £25.2million. He is an important cog in transition allowing the 2022/23 Italian champions to seamlessly change from defence to attack. 2 The Scotland international surpassed Paul Gascoigne's Serie A goal record of six Credit: Getty Speaking on McTominay earlier this season, Conte said: “He is a complete player, versatile, who can be a trequartista (a creative attacking midfielder) behind the striker, he can be a mezz’ala (on the sides) in a three-man midfield, play in a two-man midfield or even wide in a 5-4-1 with licence to attack.” Not only that, McTominay has been available and reliable this term having started all but two matches in the league. And in 28 out of 33 league matches he has played a full 90 minutes. McTominay has slotted into life in Italy with incredible maturity, perhaps helped by his former Man United teammate Romelu Lukaku and fellow Scotsman Billy Gilmour. Speaking about McTominay, Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo said: “He’s helping us a lot. He’s a great player. But we knew that. “What maybe we didn’t know was what type of impact he would make right away. We’re enjoying it.” Napoli will be hopeful Inter, who have a game in hand, drop points. Scott McTominay scores and sends Napoli four clear in Serie A and went straight to Conte to celebrate In Napoli’s five remaining league fixtures they will face only one opponent currently inside the top half. Inter on the other hand will face four top half sides, one of which will be Bologna on Sunday at 5pm.
