<p>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.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>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"><em>Il Mattino</em></a><em>, </em>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.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>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.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>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.</p>
