A source close to McTominay revealed that the midfielder has encouraged Conte to bring Mainoo to Italy, believing the young player would thrive in Napoli's dynamic team setup.

McTominay reportedly told Conte about Mainoo's strengths and why he thinks the young player would be a great addition to the Napoli squad, either on loan or a permanent deal.

McTominay also praised Mainoo's upbringing at Manchester United, saying he was brought up in the right way and would fit in well with Napoli's team.

Mainoo has been with Manchester United's academy since he was a young boy and has developed into a talented player.
