McTominay, who is 28 years old, has already scored one goal in two league matches this season.

The Scottish midfielder showcased his readiness in a preseason match against Casertana FC.

In a match that ended in a 1-1 draw, he failed to convert his chance, sending the ball over the bar, which caused his frustration.

Video of this moment went viral on social media after fans shared it.

Many of them believe he expressed his emotions with the Italian exclamation Mamma Mia, which translates to oh my mother.

Fans are actively commenting on this moment on social media.

• “Bro is living his best life in Serie A! He’s probably already ordering espresso like a local! Looks like he’s got more Italian style.”
• “Classic McTominay energy.”
• “Looks like he’s enjoying it there.”
• “Heard him say 'bellissimo' the other day.”

Another commentator noted: “That haircut. It’s more Italian than Scottish.”

The Napoli team and McTominay have started excellently in defending the Serie A title.

They kicked off the season with a 2-0 victory over Sassuolo, where McTominay scored the opening goal.

The second league match was against Cagliari and seemed to end in a draw.

However, former Fulham player Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa scored in the dying seconds of the game, snatching three points for the team.

McTominay's excellent form in Italy has already sparked rumors of a possible expensive transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Al-Hilal is interested in signing the midfielder, who could join players like Darwin Nunez, Joao Cancelo, and Ruben Neves.

However, it seems that he will remain at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium and may soon have company in the form of Rasmus Hojlund.

The United striker is rumored to be announced by the Italian giants after a loan agreement with an option to buy is reached.

But the deal will only become permanent if Napoli manages to qualify for the Champions League.

Despite these rumors, McTominay continues to showcase his talents on the pitch in Serie A, which certainly intrigues football fans.

The midfielder's future will remain in focus as the football season unfolds, and his performances may determine his next steps in his career.
