In an incredible twist of fate, former Manchester United players Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku have become the shining lights of Napoli’s Serie A triumph.

Just two days after their old club, Man United, suffered heartbreak in the Europa League final, these two ex-Red Devils stepped up to help Napoli lift the Italian league title.

McTominay’s Stunning Strike Opens the Way

Scott McTominay, now a vital player for Napoli, kicked off the scoring with a sensational goal that set the tone for the game.

Playing in a more attacking midfield role under Antonio Conte, McTominay has reinvented himself from his time at Manchester United.

This season, the 28-year-old has netted 11 goals — a career-high that reflects his growing influence on the pitch.

Lukaku’s Impact Completes the Victory

Romelu Lukaku, another former United star, didn’t disappoint either, adding a crucial goal to seal Napoli’s 2-0 win over Cagliari.

Together, their goals ensured that Napoli held off the challenge from Inter Milan, who finished second despite beating Como 2-0 on the final day.

A Season of Glory for Napoli and McTominay’s Accolades

This win marks Napoli’s second Serie A title in just three years, confirming their status as a dominant force in Italian football.

McTominay’s standout performances throughout the campaign earned him the prestigious Serie A Player of the Year award moments after the final whistle — a testament to his outstanding season.

The Bigger Picture: From Man United Defeat to Serie A Champions

The timing of Napoli’s title celebration is striking.

Only 48 hours earlier, their former club, Manchester United, fell to Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao.

While McTominay and Lukaku savor their success in Italy, the contrast in fortunes couldn’t be clearer.
