Scott McTominay has delivered exceptional performances for Napoli this season, Joe Jordan has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, McTominay has made much more of an impact in Italy than many expect, and it was a big surprise to see MUFC let him go during the summer.
Joe added that Scott was clearly doing okay at United, but he has lifted his game to another level at Napoli.
His words, “I would say Scott McTominay has made much more of an impact in Italy than I did in my first season. He’s already much more popular than I ever was. I got on well with the Milan fans, but it took me a bit of time to settle down to the Italian game. Since his introduction, the Napoli supporters have taken to Scott right away.
He has done exceptionally well, in a team that is consistently winning. They love him in Naples and I know what the Napolitani are like; they’re incredible fans, absolutely fanatical about their club and their heroes. In Naples, they only support one team and that’s Napoli.
I was really surprised United let Scott go during the summer. I don’t know all the circumstances but I thought he was doing OK at United. But at Napoli, he’s lifted his game to another level. His form is consistent, his front play is good, he’s scoring goals and providing assists.
He’s hit the ground running. He’s a player who is playing with confidence and he is working under a good coach in Antonio Conte. Napoli did very well to sign him — but Manchester United did very badly letting him go. United’s loss is Napoli’s gain. He has been helped by having Gilmour alongside him. Whenever I’ve seen Billy play for Napoli he’s done well and he has forced himself into the starting team now. That’s no surprise to me because he’s a good player, and crucially for an Italian coach, he keeps the ball well.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
