But the Scot is now looking to shake up his squad in the summer market.

Napoli's savvy Scott McTominay decision revealed with Serie A champions set to benefit from Scotland ace's mega stardom
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTT McTOMINAY has taken Naples by storm since making the move last summer. Now, Napoli have made a shrewd move to PROFIT from the mania surrounding the Scotland hero. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Napoli chiefs are looking to benefit from McTominay mania Credit: Getty 3 The Scotland hero is a huge Napoli fans' favourite Credit: Getty 3 His nickname 'McFratm' has taken the city by storm Credit: Reuters McTominay, 28 sealed a £25million switch to the Serie A giants from Manchester United last season. He seemed to immediately get a new lease of life and has never looked back. Establishing himself as a fans' favourite from the off, McTominay finished the season as THE undisputed hero in the eyes of Napoli's famously fanatic band of followers. The fandom only heightened when the Hampden hero netted a stunning overhead kick to send Napoli on their way to a 2-0 win over Cagliari on the final day of the season - a victory that saw them crowned champions of Italy. On the same night, he was also named Serie A's MVP for the 2024/25 season. In the days that followed, McTominay thrilled fans by being front and centre of the wild celebrations that followed. Napoli supporters have shown their love for the Scotland star in many weird, wonderful and extravagant ways. A stunning shrine to the midfield ace appeared in the city centre, pizzas have been named in his honour and one fan even got a TATTOO. The incredible ink didn't, however, bear McTominay's name, instead carrying 'McFratm'. Like McTominay himself, his nickname has taken the Italian football world by storm. Scott McTominay dances with old fan while puffing on cigarette as never-ending Napoli title party continues Coined by a teammate, the player himself revealed it was his favourite of all the nicknames he'd been given, with McTerminator among the others. McFratm basically translates to 'McBro' and many Napoli fans have taken to referring to the midfielder by the term instead of his actual name. It's born from the Neapolitan word 'fratermo' which means 'my brother.' It's appeared on scarves, T-shirts and even on the mural in Naples. But that could all be about to change after Napoli made a big decision. According to Gazzetta, Napoli have TRADEMARKED 'McFratm.' Scott McTominay's career Born in Lancaster on December 8, 1996 Joined the Manchester United youth system aged five and signed his first professional contract in 2013 Made his Premier League debut against Arsenal in May 2017 McTominay went on to win Carabao Cup and FA Cup with Man Utd Made 255 appearances and scored 29 goals for the Red Devils McTominay joined Napoli in August for £25.7million Born in England, he qualified for Scotland through his dad who's from Helensburgh McTominay was called-up by Scotland in March 2018 and has gone on to become a huge Hampden favourite He was part of the squad at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 He won his 50th cap while playing against Germany at Euro 2024 McTominay has scored some huge goals for Scotland, including an injury-time winner against Israel and his famous double in the 2-0 win over Spain in Glasgow The shrewd move means the club are hoping to benefit commercially from the incredible buzz surrounding McTominay. Napoli filed for the trademark in the middle of last month and covers nine different product categories. It means the club will be able to license and realise an abundance of 'McFratm' merchandise as well as using it for marketing and promotional purposes.

'It's something different'- Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson
Work has commenced on a brand-new stitch pitch at The Racecourse so it is ready for the start of the 2025-26 campaign when the Reds will compete in the Championship after finishing runners-up in League One this term to secure an historic third successive promotion. The club has invested more than £1 million on the playing surface, with undersoil heating being installed alongside new irrigation and drainage systems. In other work being carried out at the iconic north Wales stadium ahead of Wrexham's first season in the second tier for 43 years, when they will come up against the likes of Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich Town, the dugouts are being moved from one side of the pitch to the other. Parkinson, appointed manager in July 2021, is used to shouting instructions on the touchline in front of the Reds' substitutes and his backroom staff who sit at the front of the Wrexham Lager Stand but they will now be housed in the first few rows of the Macron Stand. On the move, the Reds' boss commented: "It is something different and I am cool about it. "I can get to know the fans on that side a bit more now!"
