Former Manchester United player under serious scrutiny at Napoli

Scott McTominay may have impressed fans and media alike with his solid performances since joining Napoli, but the former Manchester United midfielder is under scrutiny for something completely unexpected—his diet.

After a €30 million move to Italy, McTominay’s debut in Napoli’s 0-0 draw with Juventus earned rave reviews, with some even touting him as the club’s next fan favorite.

However, behind the scenes, manager Antonio Conte and the club’s nutritionist Tiberio Ancora have reportedly placed the former Manchester United player ‘under observation’ for one specific reason—his diet habits. The concern? The allure of Italy’s rich cuisine, particularly dairy products, which could lead to unwanted weight gain.

Italian outlet Il Mattino revealed that Conte, a stickler for nutrition, is especially vigilant with McTominay due to his arrival from abroad, wanting to ensure the midfielder doesn’t fall victim to the temptations of Neapolitan food culture.

With Scott McTominay under the microscope, Conte’s strict nutrition plan aims to keep the 27-year-old in peak form.

While fans are already loving McTominay for his dominant play, comparing him to Napoli legends like Diego Maradona and Edinson Cavani, it seems the club is leaving nothing to chance in ensuring his success continues—both on the pitch and at the dinner table.

Could McTominay’s diet be the key to unlocking his full potential in Serie A? Only time, and a carefully monitored menu, will tell.
