Why Scott Mctominay will be Serie A’s MVP if Napoli win Scudetto | OneFootball

For years at Manchester United, the debate raged on as to what Scott McTominay’s best position is. He has always scored a bunch of goals but in England he was always played deeper – like a fitting square peg into a round hole.

Now with Antonio Conte at Napoli, his best has come to the fore. Conte has forever been the master of getting the best out of individual players and the same as happened with the Scot. Conte has absolved him of build-up duties and allowed him to bomb up the pitch and join the attack. This has resulted in 11 goals and 4 assists in the league – a remarkable return. No midfielder has more.

McTominay’s best has come in the business end of the season and he has carried Napoli to the line. In the last 2 months, he has 7 goal contributions. Napoli need to match or better Inter’s result today as they play against Cagliari. If McTominay scores and inspires Napoli to a Scudetto, he has the MVP award sewn up and deservedly so. Compared to the last Napoli title winning squad, this one lacks the star power and it has been McTominay who has been driving them forward.
