McTominay & Hojlund save Napoli's 'crazy season' again

Ex-Manchester United stars Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund were the heroes as Napoli came from behind to beat Genoa 3-2 in the final minute of their Serie A clash on Saturday evening.

Conte claims he's 'transformed' McTominay into a 'complete player'

Napoli manager Antonio Conte has claimed that he's "transformed" Scott McTominay into a "complete player" since the Scotland international's switch from Manchester United. The midfielder was named Serie A Player of the Year last season after helping fire Napoli to the Scudetto. He's since been joined at the club by former United team-mate Rasmus Hojlund, who has also come in for praise from his manager.

Conte slams 'arrogant' Amorim over Hojlund treatment

Antonio Conte has slammed sacked Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim’s “arrogant” handling of Rasmus Hojlund, accusing the Portuguese of failing to “adapt” his rigid methods to the striker’s qualities. The Denmark international has been in fine form since swapping Old Trafford for Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, scoring nine goals in all competitions for the Serie A side.

Conte aims brutal dig at Amorim and Man Utd over Hojlund

Antonio Conte has seemingly hit out at Ruben Amorim and Manchester United for their handling of striker Rasmus Hojlund, who is currently enjoying a loan spell with Serie A side Napoli. The Danish striker had a tough second season at Old Trafford and was sent to Italy as Amorim preferred summer signing Benjamin Sesko, who has scored five goals in 19 appearances for the Red Devils so far. Amorim has since been sacked and replaced by Michael Carrick, who will preside over the club for the remainder of the campaign.

Sesko 'completely different' to Hojlund, says Amorim

Ruben Amorim has challenged Benjamin Sesko to be more clinical in front of goal, while stating that he is a "completely different" striker to Napoli loanee Rasmus Hojlund. Manchester United spent £74 million ($100m) on the Slovenia international last summer and sent his Danish counterpart to join Antonio Conte's Serie A holders. And after seeing Sesko fail to fire against Leeds United, Amorim has laid down the gauntlet for the 22-year-old.

After Napoli beat Bologna on December 22 to win the Supercoppa Italiana, Rasmus Hojlund posted a picture of him holding the trophy, accompanied by the words, "What a great decision looks like." Unsurprisingly, some Manchester United fans didn't react well to the perceived slight on their club. One comment on Hojlund's Instagram photo with more than 14,000 likes sarcastically congratulated the Dane for finding his 'level' before adding, "[The] Premier League is too difficult for amateurs."

Hojlund permanent move to Napoli from Man Utd just a 'formality'

Rasmus Hojlund will not be returning to parent side Manchester United at the end of the season, according to a Napoli director. The young Danish striker completed a deadline day loan move to the Serie A giants in the summer after Ruben Amorim brought in Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to bolster his frontline. A fresh start in Italy has brought the best out of Hojlund, who is now scoring regularly under Antonio Conte.
