McTominay claims 'misprofiling' at Man Utd led to Napoli success

Scott McTominay has reflected on his time at Manchester United, stating he was 'misprofiled' in his playing position, often used as a deep midfielder or center-back despite his strengths lying in attacking roles. After joining Napoli for £25 million, he has thrived in Italy, scoring six goals and providing four assists, and feels a strong connection with the passionate fans and competitive league. McTominay acknowledged the challenges of being a young player at a club like United, where he felt he had to accept his role and not challenge established stars like Paul Pogba. He expressed no bitterness towards the coaching staff for how he was utilized, emphasizing the necessity of adapting in a high-pressure environment. His successful transition to Serie A has led to a resurgence in his career, where he is now able to play to his strengths. Both fans and analysts have noted his significant impact at Napoli, raising questions about United's decision to let him go.
