De Gea and McTominay reborn after Man Utd exit and reunite in big Serie A game | OneFootball

La Gazzetta dello Sport previews Saturday’s big Serie A game between Fiorentina and Napoli, highlighting that David de Gea and Scott McTominay look reborn after leaving Manchester United.

Former Manchester United stars De Gea and McTominay will reunite at the Stadio Franchi tomorrow in a big game between Fiorentina and Napoli. Football Italia will be among the accredited media.

An article on page 18 of Friday’s Gazzetta dello Sport previewed the game with an angle on the ex-Manchester United pair.

McTominay and De Gea have been among the best Serie A players this season. According to average player ratings from sports papers, the Fiorentina keeper is the third-best performer in the league.

De Gea joined Fiorentina on a free transfer last summer after taking a sabbatical. He had left Manchester United in 2023 after 12 years at the club.

His ex-teammate McTominay has also had an immediate impact at his club, Napoli, with three goals and three assists in 15 Serie A games this term.

The Scotland international completed a €30.5m transfer last summer, prompting several pundits to criticise Manchester United for letting him leave. Ex-Serie A and West Ham star Paolo Di Canio even said he would “arrest” the Red Devils’ directors for selling the 28-year-old.
