According to The Athletic, Scott McTominay is expected to sign with Serie A team Napoli after the two teams agreed on a £25.4 million deal.

McTominay has participated in 255 games for the Manchester United
Since making his Manchester United debut under Jose Mourinho in 2017, McTominay has participated in 255 games for the Manchester United.

Along the way, he has scored 29 goals, his greatest return coming in the 2023–2024 season with 10.

look at several of Scott McTominay‘s best moments for Manchester United…

McTominay steps up in Paris (2019)

One of Scott McTominay's best performances, chosen to start in a makeshift midfield against PSG in Paris when Manchester United was trailing 2-0 after the first leg.

With Paul Pogba, Ander Herrera, and Nemanja Matic out of the picture, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United team consisted of McTominay, Fred, and Andreas Pereira in the midfield.
In this encounter, Solskjaer and McFred's combination started to take shape, as United's midfield contributed to an unexpected outcome that included a 3-1 win and an away goal.


During this game, McTominay proved that he was a dependable player who could step up under pressure.

Derby goal hero before lockdown (2020)

A strike that gave Manchester United supporters a lot to hold onto during a difficult time, and may be Scott McTominay's best goal ever while wearing a Manchester United shirt.

Early in 2020, with United leading 1-0 versus City at Old Trafford, McTominay scored a long-range goal from 30 yards out to take advantage of a late Ederson error.

The crowd went wild as Solskjaer's team defeated City in the league with a strong showing from beginning to end.

Because of Covid, this ended up being the last league game with a full house for eighteen months. McTominay's goal, at least, sent the season out in style.

Starring performance in Europa League final (2021)

Choosing a different late winner from McTominay's selection would have been simple. Maybe the goal against Omonia Nicosia in stoppage time.

Even though it doesn't work out, there are instances when a player's performance on a larger platform just reveals more about them.

In the 2021 Europa League Final, McTominay was a starter and gave one of his most comprehensive performances while wearing a United shirt.

Before being substituted in the 120th minute, the Scotsman fought for every ball, repeatedly dribbled through the Villarreal midfield to propel the side ahead, and gave it his all.

Despite his best efforts, he was ultimately unsuccessful in an agonizing 11–10 penalty shootout loss.

United supporters would have like to forget this game given the outcome, but if we had won the penalties, McTominay's performance would have been more highly regarded.

Destroying Leeds in three minutes (2021)

After playing their first Premier League match against Manchester United in fifteen years, Leeds supporters were full of expectations.

In barely three minutes, Scott McTominay converted their dreams of an upset into a nightmare.

The directness and brutality of McTominay in front of goal proved to be too much for Marcelo Bielsa's team, as they let up two goals early on.

The game ended in a 6-2 victory for United, with McTominay sealing the victory shortly after it began.

In a rematch against Leeds at Elland Road the next season, McTominay would torment Leeds once more. The game was played in muddy, rainy conditions, which he loved, and United won 4-2.

Stoppage time double vs Brentford (2023)

Man Scott McTominay's role under Erik ten Hag changed from starter to replacement, and he became a game-changer in this capacity.

McTominay's eye for goal helped man United when he was given the opportunity to play in a more forward role; the most memorable game from last season was the victory over Brentford.

Scott McTominay entered the game in the 87th minute, but man United was already losing 1-0 and looking at an absolutely awful home loss going into the international break.

McTominay equalized in the third minute of injury time, saving a point. Still, more was to come.

In the seventh minute of stoppage time, McTominay scored the game's winning goal, making it 2-1 instead of losing.

Winning the FA Cup Final

Cup finals had not been kind to Scott McTominay during his time at Manchester United. He was left as an unused substitute under Jose Mourinho in the 2018 FA Cup loss to Chelsea.

The Europa League Final also ended up in defeat, while he was only used from the bench in the 2023 Carabao Cup Final win, and 2023 FA Cup loss.

Thus, it was a momentous occasion for McTominay when Erik ten Hag started him in the 2024 Wembley final against man City as part of an altered formation.

FA CUP WINNERS | Manchester United

McTominay did not disappoint his manager as manchester United prevailed 2-1. Even if he didn't score or have the most beautiful individual performance, he still managed to play 90 minutes and win a medal at the end of the match. And that was what made it so magical on its own.
