Antonio Conte has revealed the main difference between Scott McTominay's role at Napoli and Manchester United.

Serie A leaders Napoli resume their stunning league campaign on Saturday when they face Lecce, having beaten Torino 2-0 in their last outing.

McTominay scored a brace in Napoli's win over Torino as he continued his incredible goal-scoring exploits in Italy following his transfer from Man United last summer, with the Italian media hailing his showing.

He joined Napoli from Man United for £25.7 million, with the Scotland international excelling under Conte's tutelage.

McTominay has been a key player for the Italian manager, who compared his role at Napoli to his spell at Man United.

Conte, who managed in the Premier League with Chelsea, insists his star player 'never had a main role at Man United' unlike at Napoli.

He said: "I have always talked about having to find solutions because looking at the team's roster I have always said that you didn't find many goals from individual players. When there are these types of situations, you can't rely only on 2-3 players who score in double figures, you have to find a goal cooperative and find tactical solutions.

"McTominay is clearly stronger today than when he arrived, he himself feels more complete, with more knowledge, he is also reaching an important stage of his age to understand where to go in his career because he was in the middle, he never had a main role at United which instead we gave him here, he grew a lot by working, today he is complete, but the improvement that he had has been had by everyone else otherwise it becomes difficult to explain why today we have 74 points."

The 28-year-old has scored 12 goals across all competitions this season, including 10 league goals.

It's fair to say he's enjoying the best season of his career in what is his first campaign in Italy after leaving England.

McTominay will be looking to win the first league title of his career as Napoli aim to win their fourth league title in the club's history.
