Scott McTominay, the 27-year-old Scottish midfielder, has shed light on his decision to leave Manchester United and embark on a fresh journey at Napoli.
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, McTominay reflected on the transfer and expressed his satisfaction with the move, emphasizing that it was a mutual decision and one he does not regret.
“I took it, I didn’t look back,” McTominay said when asked about the pivotal decision to leave the club where he had spent his formative years. “It did NOT take me long to make the decision. I knew that was what I wanted, and I’ll never have any regrets in my life.”
McTominay’s departure from Old Trafford marked the end of an era, as he had been part of Manchester United since joining their youth academy at the age of five.
Over the years, he became a fan favorite, known for his passion, work rate, and commitment on the pitch. However, limited playing time under the current management prompted the midfielder to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Napoli, the reigning Serie A champions, offered McTominay a fresh start and a chance to compete in a new environment.
