Scott McTominay shows true colours after Manchester United transfer heartbreak as record set

Scott McTominay is enjoying a phenomenal season at Napoli and has set a notable record over the weekend.

No one at Old Trafford could have foreseen the impact McTominay would have in Naples. The Manchester United academy graduate has become a vital part of Napoli's Serie A title charge, with the Italian club now three points clear at the summit after Sunday's 2-0 win over Torino.
