September 21 was the day of goalless draws for anyone even remotely related to Manchester United as the senior team set the tone away at Crystal Palace.
Earlier in the day, Manchester United loanee Joe Hugill’s Wigan Athletic side played out a goalless draw and Scott McTominay, the United favourite who joined Napoli, played a goalless draw away to Juventus.
It was the Scottish midfielder’s first start for Antonio Conte’s team and it couldn’t have come in a more difficult game.
McTominay is already a fan favourite in Naples, with Conte fiercely protective of him and sporting director Giovanni Manna being the same.
Conte’s team have also started trending upwards after an early hiccup at Verona and the former United man figures to be a key part of his plans.
Scott McTominay vs Juventus
Conte set out to pull one over his former team when he took Napoli to Juventus for a top-of-the-table clash.
His trust in McTominay was clear to see as he chose this game to give him his first start for the club and McTominay didn’t disappoint.
He was fielded further forward, almost as an attacking midfielder after his goalscoring exploits last season for Man United.
