McTominay made a significant impact in Italy, scoring 13 goals and providing six assists in 36 games, quickly becoming a fan favourite in Naples.

His recent success contrasts sharply with the scrutiny he faced at United, particularly when he was part of a midfield duo with Fred, often referred to as ‘McFred’.

Carrick, who served as an assistant coach under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, explained that McTominay's talent was always apparent at United, even though he was asked to play a more defensive role.
