Andy Robertson has mentioned Scotland teammate Scott McTominay was powered to an award-winning season at Napoli by his need to “show Manchester United incorrect.”
McTominay joined Napoli final summer time for £25 million ($33m) after eight seasons out and in of the group at United, the place he was usually the topic of supporters’ ire.
He scored 12 objectives from midfield in his first Serie A marketing campaign as Napoli stormed to the title, and McTominay was named the league’s Most Useful Participant.
“I believe he went over there with some extent to show,” Liverpool defender Robertson mentioned, per The Guardian. “I believe he needed to show Manchester United incorrect and show folks within the Premier League incorrect. He has gone over there and achieved that fairly efficiently.
“That is credit score to him, credit score to his angle and his dedication to be the perfect model of himself. Now he’s a king over there.
“At Man United he most likely lacked getting that run of video games constantly, he was out and in and issues like that. He most likely did not get the respect he deserves. Then he goes over there, places in a powerful season and honest play to him to finish it with the league title.
“Even earlier than he was at Napoli, his requirements for Scotland had been unbelievable. He is getting higher and higher, he has taken it to a complete new degree.”
McTominay made 178 league appearances for United, scoring 19 objectives, however by no means nailed down a beginning position for the membership he joined as a six-year-old.
Scotland are getting ready for friendlies towards Iceland and Liechtenstein this month earlier than kicking off their World Cup qualifying marketing campaign in September.
