The star abandoned by MU is canonized

Scott McTominay is causing a sensation at Napoli, being likened to a "saint" following his outstanding displays, significantly contributing to the team's pursuit of honors and leaving a historic impression.

Scott McTominay has become a new icon at Napoli after impressive performances, even being compared to the legendary Diego Maradona in a particularly special way.

The Scottish midfielder quickly made a profound impact after moving to Napoli from Manchester United in 2024. In his first season in Italy, McTominay played a pivotal role in helping the southern club win the Serie A championship.

This is only Napoli's second Scudetto since the golden era when Diego Maradona almost single-handedly led the club to the pinnacle in 1990. McTominay's outstanding contributions not only helped Napoli achieve collective success but also earned him a place in the Ballon d'Or rankings and the Serie A Best Player award.

McTominay's impressive form continues this season. He has scored 11 goals and provided 4 assists for coach Antonio Conte's team, while also playing a major role in helping the Scotland national team secure a spot in the World Cup.

Recently, McTominay himself scored the only goal to help Napoli defeat Cagliari 1-0 on Friday, thereby keeping their slim hopes alive in the title race.

After that impressive performance, Diego Armando Maradona Jr. could not hide his admiration for the Scottish midfielder. He stated: “After my father, McTominay is the most influential player in Napoli's history. We once had 'God' Diego Maradona, but for me, McTominay is 'the Lord'. He is a completely decisive factor.”

Napoli previously renamed the San Paolo stadium to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to honor the Argentine legend after his passing due to heart failure in 2020. During his 8-year tenure from 1984, Maradona helped the club win 2 Serie A titles, 1 Coppa Italia, 1 UEFA Cup, and 1 Italian Super Cup.

Currently, McTominay has joined the Scotland national team to prepare for friendly matches ahead of the World Cup, facing Japan and Ivory Coast respectively.
