McTominay wants Conte to lure Man Utd star to Napoli

Scott McTominay has urged Napoli manager Antonio Conte to step up his reported pursuit of Manchester United starlet Kobbie Mainoo in the January transfer window.

The Scottish midfielder has flourished under Conte’s leadership since leaving Old Trafford last summer, becoming a key figure in their Serie A title triumph and earning the league’s MVP award.

According to SunSport, a source close to McTominay revealed that the midfielder has encouraged Conte to bring Mainoo to Italy, believing the young talent would thrive in Napoli’s dynamic setup.

"Scott has been to see Conte and told him to get Kobbie. He’s told him all about his strengths and what an outstanding player he is.0

“He knows all about him from his time at United and thinks he would be a great addition to the squad, whether it’s on loan or a permanent deal.

"Kobbie has been brought up the right way at United having been in the academy since he was a little boy. He would fit straight in and give Napoli a boost."
