McTominay capped off a brilliant debut year in Italy by getting his hands on the Serie A trophy, while former side United look set to finish in the bottom five.
The 28-year-old will also be a Champions League player once again - which would not have happened if he had remained at Old Trafford.
And while United are licking their wounds after recording their lowest ever Prem points total as well as losing the Europa League final, McTominay is celebrating a bonus.
The Napoli squad are set to receive a cash prize of more than £10million for winning the league, owner Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed.

Ruben Amorim makes major change to Man Utd match day routine as he scraps policy introduced by Erik ten Hag
RUBEN AMORIM has made a huge change to Manchester United's pre-match routine. The Red Devils begin their Premier League campaign tomorrow against Arsenal at Old Trafford. 5 Ruben Amorim has made a change to Man Utd's pre-match routine Credit: Getty 5 Erik ten Hag's old measure has been axed Credit: Alamy Back when Erik ten Hag was in charge of the club, he introduced a policy that saw players arrive at the stadium for a home game FOUR HOURS before kick-off. It was a measure introduced by the old boss as he ditched staying at a hotel the night before a game. But ahead of the new season, Amorim has axed Ten Hag's preparation method. And the players have now been told to meet at the club's Carrington training ground before a match. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL VILE 'ABUSE' Antoine Semenyo breaks silence after fan kicked out for 'hurling racist abuse' They will then travel for seven miles as a team to Old Trafford. The plan is for them to arrive at the ground just two hours before kick-off. Amorim has made the switch following Carrington's £50m redevelopment. Explaining the decision, he said: "I always had the feeling that we arrive at Old Trafford and Old Trafford must be the centre of the game - but we cannot spend four hours there waiting for the game. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS 'And I feel with these facilities we can be here, preparing for the game away from Old Trafford and when we arrive at Old Trafford, we have to feel the fans and then go directly to the game, not killing the momentum of the connection with our fans. 'We know that we have a lot of people waiting there for us, to be with the players and to sign autographs. We will try to do the same. Man Utd preparing Morten Hjulmand bid | Transfers Exposed 'So, it's going to be the same experience for the fans. 'But for us it's going to be better because we are going to feel, nearer the game, the momentum with the fans and we will spend less time in there.' A range of equipment and technology has been upgraded at Carrington with a focus on fitness, nutrition, recovery and team unity. There is a new canteen area, swimming pool and space for players to relax. The gym has undergone a major revamp and cryogenic chambers have been added to aid recovery. Amorim now believes Carrington is the best place for the team to be before a game. On the change, fans said: "Curious if this will impact performance in big pressure games. Does reducing pre-match build-up kill focus or sharpen it?" Another added: "That sounds like a smart move. If Carrington has been upgraded to top level, it makes sense to use it as the hub players will feel more comfortable and focused before heading to Old Trafford." A third wrote: "I always thought it was weird how early we turn up to games." 5 Carrington has undergone a £50m redevelopment Credit: Getty 5 Players will now meet at the training ground before home games Credit: Getty

I'm a model, 75, who's never had Botox & has no interest in becoming a ‘humanoid'… I swear by a £2 Temu buy instead
A 75-YEAR-OLD model who's never had Botox has revealed the £2 Temu buy she swears by to stay looking young. Penelope Tree first made a name for herself in the 1960s, and has enjoyed a resurgence of success in recent years - walking the runway for Fendi and Richard Quinn and appearing in a star-studded ad campaign to mark Zara's 50th anniversary. 4 Model Penelope Tree has never had Botox or plastic surgery, but still looks younger than her 75 years Credit: Getty 4 She's walked the catwalk for names including Fendi and Valentino in more recent years Credit: Getty 4 But first started modelling in the 1960s Credit: Getty 4 When it comes to her anti-ageing tips, she swears by using these face tapes - which you can get for £2 from Temu Credit: temu And while she used to be "obsessed" with her appearance when she was younger, she's now "more interested in what's going on" around her. She's also "not trying to prove anything" by undergoing cosmetic procedures to maintain a flawless facade. "You just have to accept the inevitability of ageing. I don't really see what's wrong with it!" she told the MailOnline. "And I don't like hospitals or the idea of being fiddled with in a surgical way. "Also, repeated plastic surgery does tend to make people look like replicants (bioengineered humanoids)." Instead, she prefers a more natural way of reducing the look of her wrinkles - anti-ageing face tapes. The adhesive tapes have threads attached, which can be pulled and secured discreetly around the head to make the face look more taut. And they won't set you back anywhere near as much as Botox either, as you can pick them up for just £2 on Temu. Other celebrities who use the tapes include Joan Collins and Bella Hadid. She's also a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream and Trinny London's The Elevator cream. I hated my wrinkled skin, so I spent £4k to have the top layer taken off, people can't believe I'm the same person "In my 20s my currency was my beauty," Penelope continued. "Now my currency is being alive, interested and curious. "I just leave it to the hairdressers and the make-up artists to make me look as good as I can, which isn't easy!" As for her fashion sense, Penelope loves "statement jewellery", which said makes older people "look fabulous". And she loves shopping at the "affordable and fabulous" Zara. "I wear an orange Zara suit every summer and it's the most complimented outfit I've ever worn in my life!" she admitted. How is celery juice an anti-ageing potion? Celery juice is packed with antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids, which combat free radicals that cause cellular damage and aging. Its high water content keeps your skin hydrated and plump, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The anti-inflammatory compounds in celery, such as apigenin and luteolin, help reduce chronic inflammation linked to ageing. Rich in essential nutrients like vitamin K and potassium, celery juice supports overall skin health and body functions. Drinking celery juice regularly can complement a balanced diet and skincare routine, promoting a youthful glow from within. But while she's happy to save money on the majority of her wardrobe, there's one thing she'll always splash out on - and that's denim. "If there's one thing I have learnt as I have aged, it's to spend money on jeans," she said, adding that she's had the same pair for three years and insisting they're "good as new".
