The Scotland international, who had spent his entire career at United since joining their academy at the age of five, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/scott-mctominay-leaves-man-utd-napoli-erik-ten-hag/bltdbd9e3d184d9613b#csc9d1d891cbeee019" target="_blank">made a late switch to Napoli </a>during the summer transfer window for a fee of £25 million ($33.6m). However, his new life in Italy has encountered some unexpected challenges off the pitch, especially regarding Napoli’s rigorous dietary regimen.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Napoli manager Antonio Conte, who is renowned for his demanding fitness standards, has entrusted the management of his players' nutrition to a team led by Tiberio Ancora, a specialist in sports nutrition. And according to <a href="https://www.ilmattino.it/" target="_blank">Il Mattino</a>, McTominay is deemed "at risk" and has been placed under close "observation" to ensure that his eating habits do not negatively impact his fitness and performance.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Neapolitan food, in particular, is known for its delicious pizzas, kinds of pasta, and dairy-based dishes — all of which can be difficult to resist. Reports suggest that McTominay has been given a list of foods to avoid, including dairy products to maintain optimum fitness.

DID YOU KNOW?

McTominay is being gradually integrated into the Napoli squad by Conte. The midfielder played the full match against Juventus in Serie A last time out and should keep his place when the team host Palermo on Thursday evening in the Coppa Italia.
