A clip of Scott McTominay during Napoli's latest victory has gone viral - with fans giving him a new nickname.

The Scotland international has been a revelation in Italy since joining Napoli from Manchester United in the summer.

The 2022/23 Serie A champions, who are now managed by Antonio Conte, paid a fee of £25.7 million to bring the midfielder to Naples.

That fee looks to be a bargain now, with McTominay adapting seamlessly to life in European football.

Napoli are top of Serie A after 10 games, having picked up 25 points, and McTominay has been one of their key players.

Conte's side defeated AC Milan 2-0 on Wednesday, with first half goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and McTominay's former United team-mate Romelu Lukaku.

The Scot failed to add to the goal and assist he has recorded in Serie A this term, but put in another excellent performance alongside midfield partners Billy Gilmour and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.

One moment in the match saw McTominay dribble past three Milan players in a move, and he produced a nutmeg for good measure.

You can see the clip below.

Napoli fans have now coined a new nickname for the 26-year-old, as per Italian football journalist Mina Rzouki - 'McTotally'.

That name is said to be a nod to his ability to be 'totally present and committed to running everywhere'.

It is added that Conte has changed his system to accommodate McTominay's qualities, as he originally had decided on playing a 3-4-2-1 formation upon his arrival at Napoli.

However, he now plays a 4-3-3 off the ball which can transition into 4-2-4, when McTominay becoming a central striker alongside Lukaku in the attack.

Earlier this season, McTominay wrote a 1,000-word open letter to Napoli fans in order to introduce himself.

In it, he wrote: "My biggest dream as a person is to be happy.

"Happiness is the best thing in life, and that is the only thing I concentrate on: try to be happy, with my family, my friends, my girlfriend. When you have a smile on your face you play better at football as well."
