Manchester United, in a twist that feels almost like fate circling back, are said to be cooking up a heartfelt offer to bring Scott McTominay home after his standout rise in Naples. Word on the street is that his resurgence in Italy has United wondering why they ever let him walk in the first place.
Reports from Mark Brus suggest the club’s interest isn’t some half-baked rumour — they’re genuinely weighing up a shock reunion. With hindsight now doing what hindsight always does, selling him to Napoli for around £25 million under Erik ten Hag is starting to look like one of those decisions everyone wishes they could Ctrl+Z.
The irony is wild: Ten Hag approved the move, got shown the door later, and in the meantime McTominay hit Italy like a man reborn. Under Antonio Conte, he became a weapon in Napoli’s title-winning run, leaving a few red faces back in Manchester’s boardroom.
His first campaign in Serie A was a straight-up glow-up, dropping 12 goals and 4 assists in 34 league matches. This season may not be as noisy statistically — just 2 goals and 1 assist so far — but he’s still very much one of Napoli’s heartbeat players.
But United aren’t the only admirers lurking. Newcastle, Spurs, and even Barcelona have been peeking over the fence, hoping to tempt him. The catch? McTominay’s buzzing in Italy, and Napoli aren’t even entertaining the thought of letting him go.
Vincenzo Credendino explains that Conte practically rewired McTominay’s game — ditching the creative role and turning him into a relentless box-crasher with perfect timing, echoing the old-school brilliance of Vidal or Marchisio at Juventus.
And just to seal the door shut a little more, McTominay has openly said he’s loving life in Naples — from the fans to the squad — and has zero regrets about making the leap.
