This is the first season in Italy for the former Manchester United midfielder: how is he coping with the job under the guidance of the infamous maestro Conte at Napoli?
“The coach is very demanding, he wants to work with all the players on tactics and how we want to dominate the match. It is important for us to receive these messages, work and work and try to progress as much as possible.”
McTominay was asked if he could steal a skill from one of his current Napoli teammates – what would it be?
“All the players have great qualities, but I would focus on Romelu’s finishing,” was the Scottish international’s response.
The 27-year-old has already scored two goals in six games for Napoli between Serie A and the Italian Cup, as well as providing one assist.
A product of Manchester United’s academy, he spent his entire career at Old Trafford until moving to Napoli for €30.5m plus bonuses on transfer deadline day.
