Scott McTominay has quickly risen to prominence at Napoli after his surprising transfer from Manchester United for £25.4 million. Under coach Antonio Conte, he has thrived, contributing significantly to Napoli's push for the Serie A title. McTominay's performances have endeared him to fans, leading to affectionate nicknames such as 'McTerminator' and 'McFratm.' His impact is highlighted by a passionate fan who even got his nickname and shirt number tattooed. McTominay's hard work and goal threat have become key aspects of Napoli's successful campaign this season.
With Napoli on course to win their fourth Serie A title, it's not without good reason that the good footballing folk of Naples appear to be coming down with a serious, delirious case of acute McTominay-mania.
McTominay made two appearances for United at the start of the season before completing a £25.4 million transfer to Napoli. He has since flourished under Conte.
The portmanteau is a blend of the Scottish midfielder's surname and the Neapolitan slang term 'fratm,' which roughly equates to 'bro' -- so, 'McBro.'
One particularly ardent Napoli fan has had McTominay's nickname and No. 8 shirt number tattooed indelibly on his arm by a local artist.
