In an interview with the BBC, McTominay revealed that the decision to leave Manchester United, where he had spent his entire youth and professional career, felt natural.

He explained that both he and the club agreed it was the right time to part ways, and he was inspired by Napoli’s ambitious project, which ultimately convinced him to sign.

“I saw the passionate fans, I saw the coach, I saw the players and I saw an opportunity.

“I took it. I didn’t look back. It didn’t take me long to make the decision because I knew that was what I wanted and I’ll never have any regrets in my life. As soon as I put my mind to something I want to do it, that’s it. There’s no holding me back.”

“It was a mutual decision. It was a case of – there’s an opportunity there, do you want to go?

“My thought process was coming here, seeing the fans, the coach and hopefully doing really good things.
“On my last day, I had to go and see everyone and it was not easy to say goodbye. But that’s football. That’s the life. I spoke to him (Ten Hag). He expressed his thoughts on the situation. I said, ‘listen it’s my career, I am here to push myself on’.
“In this situation, I have to look out for number one and go with my gut feeling of what I want to do in my career and not be held back by any other external factors.

“It was amicable. I love that football club to bits, they have been my life for 22 years, but I have moved on now. I am thoroughly enjoying myself here.”
