McTominay's recent situation, which was promising as Manchester United's 『Sunggol Youth』 but eventually left the team, is a hot topic. After a disappointing performance for Manchester United, he is currently supporting the team's leading fight by showing outstanding skills in Serie A while wearing a Napoli uniform.
McTominay, who joined Manchester United's youth team at the age of six, was recognized as a promising player by former coach Alex Ferguson. He made his debut in the first team in 2017 and was expected to become the mainstay of the team in the future, but he rarely blossomed his talent. In the end, he ended up wearing a Napoli uniform for a transfer fee of 30.5 million euros ahead of this season.
The British tabloid Daily Star reported on the 15th (Korea time) that McTominay, who was abandoned in Manchester United, is enjoying life in Italy, and that he got a new nickname because he didn't get along too well, and a pizza named after him was created. He added that `After proving his worth in the team's midfield, which was reshaped by Napoli coach Antonio Conte, there have been many things to smile about.' The Napoli Ultras even gave the nickname McMaradona after the legend Diego Maradona. "Even McTominay's girlfriend fell in love with Italian life," he said. "A pizza restaurant owner in his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland, created a new pizza named Gil McTominay, which is very well received by locals."
Rather than the cheers of the supporters and the satisfaction of the girlfriend, it seems that the coach's praise will make McTominay jump. Conte said in a recent interview that `We quietly recruited McTominay. The club had a good understanding of what he could bring to Napoli"McTominay was not the main player during his time at Manchester United, but he is doing well at Napoli. I knew him well, and I tried to bring him in. I was right to choose McTominay."
