Scott McTominay could be on his way back to the Premier League, just over a year after leaving Manchester United for Napoli. Despite guiding the Italian giants to a Serie A title and becoming a fan favourite in Naples, reports claim the Scottish midfielder has struggled to adapt to the intensity of life off the pitch — with sources describing the attention as ‘suffocating’.

However, as per The Sun’s report, things have become more complicated this season. While McTominay has scored three times in the opening weeks of the new campaign, Napoli have found consistency harder to come by and sit third in Serie A, trailing AC Milan by two points, before their win over Inter Milan on Saturday. The midfielder is reportedly finding life off the pitch more challenging than on it, prompting talk that he could consider a return to English football sooner rather than later.
