Player to watch: Scott McTominay

Scott McTominay was renowned for popping up with important goals for Manchester United with the Scot netting late winners in several matches over the years, including one from the halfway line against Man City. That clutch gene that McTominay appears to have is going to be needed in these coming weeks if Napoli are to win the title.
