His contributions have been crucial for Napoli, who are currently leading the Serie A standings by three points ahead of Inter Milan. Conte, who joined the team last summer, believes that McTominay's growth is the key to his success.

According to Conte, McTominay has become stronger and more confident since joining Napoli. He credits the midfielder's ability to take on a leading role in the team, which he didn't have at his previous club Manchester United. Conte also notes that McTominay's experience and knowledge of the game have improved, allowing him to make better decisions on the field.

Conte attributes the team's 74 points to the collective improvement of its players, including McTominay. He believes that everyone on the team has grown and developed, which is a significant factor in their success.
