Diego Maradona’s son has bestowed the ultimate honor upon Scott McTominay, labeling the former Manchester United midfielder as the most influential figure in Napoli’s history behind only his legendary father.
Scott McTominay has achieved legendary status at Napoli after leading the club to the Scudetto and earning Serie A Player of the Year honors.
His sensational debut season, featuring 12 goals, has left Manchester United fans questioning the decision to sell the academy graduate for £25million.
The Scotsman’s tactical evolution under Antonio Conte has solidified his place as a cornerstone of the Italian side’s midfield.
The midfielder received extraordinary praise from Diego Maradona Junior, who compared his impact to that of the Argentinian icon.
He told Televomero: “After my father, McTominay is the most influential player in the history of Napoli. We had God at Napoli in the form of Diego but for me McTominay is Jesus. He is a completely fundamental player.”
A shrine already honors him in Naples.
