Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay has said he has no regrets after leaving Manchester United in the summer as he continues to make his mark in Italy.

McTominay has scored three goals in 10 games since arriving at Napoli, who are top of Serie A.

In an interview with The Times released on Thursday, the Scotland international said: “Obviously it’s a big decision, there’s no denying that. It was a huge decision for me and my family and my friends.

“At times like that in your life you just have to say, ‘Do I want to do it? Absolutely,’ and go for it. There’s no looking back. I’ve never had any regrets in my life or my career and I continue that way to this day.

“I want my career to be successful and I’m going to go out of my way to try and push myself to be the best football player and best person that I can possibly be.”

McTominay’s decision to leave United came after spending 22 years at the club he joined as a youth player.

“I’ve got great people around me who help me so much and the stress in my life is very minimal because I’ve got a really good family, amazing friends and I have a lovely girlfriend who do so much for me,” he said.

“I’m very grateful for them. It’s not easy going abroad and having to settle in but it’s been quite seamless to be fair in terms of how much the Italian people have helped me settle into my house and whatever. Things I need, like a car or a taxi or anything like that. I’m very grateful to them.”
