Shining Serie A, is he the biggest disappointment in Manchester United?

Ear April, the situation of Serie A's championship competition gradually became fierce. At the beginning of the month, Inter Milan still had the lead in the standings, and the Champions League successfully eliminated Bayern to advance. However, playing 8 fierce battles in a month, it still caused the physical fitness of the Blues and Blacks: After a wave of devilish schedule, Inter Milan was sent away by his city's rival AC Milan in the semi-finals of the Italian Cup. He lost to Bologna and Roma in the Serie A, completely losing the initiative in the championship.

And on Naples, although Conte once spoke at the press conference, saying that "I have too many powerless things in Naples", when the schedule returns to the most familiar single-line battle of Con Erlenzi, Naples still showed enough stability. He drew 1-1 with Bologna, who is still brave this season, and won three consecutive victories, including Lickenpoli, Monza and Turin. After 35 rounds of Serie A, Naples has surpassed Inter Milan in the standings for three points. As long as he does not make any mistakes next, the Serie A championship this season is likely to be won by the Naples. The team has stabilized all the way in April, and midfielder McTominay naturally made an indelible contribution. This season, in order to meet FFP and PSR, the Manchester United midfielder who was born in youth training was sold to Serie A. In Conte's forward retreat and midfield forward, the Scots also played a very important role. With a system suitable for his performance, McTominay also gave back the trust of head coach Conte with his performance.

Entered the second half, with the team's core Kvaratsch Helia joining Paris Saint-Germain, McTominay only has a lot more and more weight on the offensive end. Entering April, the former Manchester United midfielder became the team's well-deserved core figure. After failing to score seven consecutive games against Bologna, the Napoli midfielder finally opened the goal account against Empoli, scoring twice and leading the team to score 3-0 and scored 3-0. After that, against Monza, McTominay scored another winning goal and again scored two goals against Torino. He entered the game against Lecce in May. McTominay, who had completed 10 successful confrontations in the whole game, failed to get a shot, but thanks to a wave of explosion in April, he still won the best player of the Serie A in April selected by the Italian Professional Players Association.

In fact, only looking at his performance this season, the Scottish midfielder has contributed 11 goals and 4 assists for Napoli in 30 games. The player's German turnover price has risen to 40 million euros after one season - in comparison, he has only 9 goals in the past three years of league games at Manchester United. Since his debut, his organization has not been able to train, and he has no ability to stand on the defensive end, but he is really versatile, his attitude is quite correct, his shooting awareness and sightseeing are good. He joined Napoli this season and played with Lukaku and Conte, who have proved himself in Serie A again. McTominay is also the first time in his career that he has led the team forward as the core of the team.

Only look at a few Manchester United abandoned sons this season. McTominay scored a new high in Serie A and could lead the team to the championship. Greenwood scored a lot of goals in Marseille and brought the team into the Champions League. Anthony, who joined Real Betis halfway, also grew up to become the new king of Andalusia's team. Seeing that the players he took could perform so well, I wonder what the Glazer family felt at this time?
