Scott Strikes Gold in Italy…
Hold onto your pizzas, folks, because Scott McTominay has turned Serie A into his personal spaghetti western! Formerly a Red Devil, the Scot has traded raindrops of Manchester for the pasta paradise of Napoli, and boy, is he kicking up a parmesan storm! Sporting director Giovanni Manna’s grin stretches wider than a Neapolitan pizza as McTominay sent Torino tumbling with a glorious brace on Sunday, securing Napoli’s seat on the top of the Serie A table, like a king on his throne with only four games left to defend it.
Season stats reveal McTominay’s been striking more goals than a malfunctioning scoreboard — a whopping 12 across all the competitions, with 11 alone painting Serie A red (and sometimes blue, for variety). Always the talk of the town at Old Trafford, former boss Erik ten Hag had more reservations about selling him than a popular Italian restaurant! But like a boomerang, he’s shown his worth tenfold, especially with five goals scored in just three recent matches, rocketing him to cult status in Napoli faster than a Vespa on a deserted Roman road.
Manna, speaking with a twinkle in his eye that would rival a firework show, hints that Napoli’s shopping cart will be rolling into the Premier League aisle once more, seeking hidden treasures ready to cross the channel. As Serie A watches in wide-eyed wonder, Scott McTominay continues to turn Italy into his own personal football jukebox, and Giovanni Manna couldn’t be prouder if his coffee machine brewed ambrosia every morning. Meanwhile, back at United, they may be wondering if they’ve sold the golden goose, but hey, at least their financial spreadsheet looks like the happy ending of a fairy tale!
