Napoli manager, Antonio Conte has suggested that midfielder, Scott McTominay is doing well at the club because he gave him a ‘main role’ in his team.
Recall that McTominay was signed by Napoli in a £25.7 million deal from Man United last summer.
The Scotland international has been an immediate hit in Serie A, scoring 11 goals and providing two assists so far this season.
McTominay struggled to establish his best midfield role since making his first-team breakthrough for Man United in 2017.
The 28-year-old scored only seven goals for Man United in his final season with the Red Devils before he was sold.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of Napoli’s Serie A clash with Lecce on Saturday, Conte said: “I have always said that you have to find solutions in the search for goals.
“When there is this type of situation you have to find a cooperative and tactical solutions, even for improvement.
“I think McTominay is stronger today than when he arrived from United. Here he has grown a lot.
“I think that he, himself, feels stronger, with more knowledge, that he is also reaching an important stage of his age to understand where to go in his career because up to now he has been in the middle, he has never had a main role at United that instead we have given him here, he has grown a lot by working, today he is complete.”;
