      Former Man Utd star Scott McTominay ‘under observation’ over his diet after Napoli transfer

      by

      FORMER Manchester United star Scott McTominay is “under observation” over his diet at Napoli, according to reports in Italy.The 26-year-old midfielder left Old Trafford after 22 years to join the Serie A side for £25m this summer.Napoli are closely monitoring Scott McTominay’s dietThe Scot joined from Manchester United this summerNapoli have pledged to take extra care of McTominay’s nutrition, according to Italian news outlet Il Mattino.The reports states that boss Antonio Conte has specific staff to monitor the diet of certain players.And McTominay, who was among the fittest at United, has received special attention after arriving last month.Napoli want to make sure that he avoids the temptations of the Neapolitan culinary luxuries including pizza, pasta and dairy.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSMcTominay left Carrington in tip-top shape and regularly shared pictures of his ripped abs on Instagram.He often placed high in United’s fittest tests and worked out in special pre-season training camps after Euro 2024.Former United team-mate and current Fulham star Andreas Pereira even coined a brilliant nickname for him – “The McTerminator”.McTominay impressed in his full debut in a goalless against Juventus, with Napoli sitting second in the Serie A.Most read in FootballMcTominay trained hard over the summerHe regularly posted pictures of his ripped physique on InstagramHe even posed with his eight-pack alongside a pal after CovidFans noted that the Scotland international put in a typically determined and hardworking performance.While media outlet Calcio Mercato wrote he was Napoli’s “next idol”, comparing him to the likes of Diego Maradona and Edinson Cavani.Man Utd fans sob ‘don’t make me cry’ as Scott McTominay gets emotional after he’s given parting gift by supporterHe scored ten goals for United in his final season with his boyhood club, with seven of them coming at crucial times in the Prem.Conte also brought in Billy Gilmour, Romelu Lukaku, David Neres and Leonardo Spinazzola.McTominay’s sale will go down as “pure profit” as he graduated from United’s academy in 2017, with Erik Ten Hag admitting he didn’t want to sell him.Manuel Ugarte the next Roy KeaneBy PHIL THOMASNEARLY two decades have passed since Roy Keane led Manchester United into battle for the final time.It left a gap in the engine room that the Red Devils have never really come close to filling in the 19 years that have followed.Many tried and some managed it in flashes and, although the trophies still rolled in for a time, there was no snarling, bring-it-on warrior prowling the midfield.Until now… until the imminent capture of a man who views a 50-50 challenge like a starving Labrador staring at a side of ham.For three months, United have licked their own lips at the prospect of a midfield marshalled by Uruguayan tough guy Manuel Ugarte.Finally, they have their man.Ugarte is pretty much a ball-winner pure and simple.Rarely will you see him pinging 40-yard passes to split a defence.But ending his days with half the reputation of Keane and a fraction of his silverware would still mean a hell of a career.

He’s very disappointed to be sent off and you don’t expect him to have that either.”He’s a bit quiet in there and a bit shaken up. I don’t know if he spoke to the referee, I’m not sure if it was before or after the red. He might want to speak to the officials about it.”It’s a very serious incident, nobody likes to be bitten. Everyone is angry about it, it’s not a nice situation to be in.
