The Scotland International has been excellent for Napoli after he was affiliated with Manchester United last summer.
Jordan said to The Sun: “I would say that Scott McTominay had much more impact in Italy than in my first season.
“He is much more popular than I ever was.
“I was able to get along well with the Milan fans, but it took me a little time to settle on the Italian game. Since his introduction, Napoli supporters have immediately brought to Scott.
“He did exceptionally well, in a team that consistently wins.
“They love him in Naples and I know how the Napolitani are, they are incredible fans, absolutely fanatic about their club and their heroes. In Naples they only support one team and that is Napoli.”
Ex-man United Center-Forward Jordan added: “I was really surprised United Let Scott during the summer.
“I don't know all the circumstances, but I thought he was doing well at United. But at Napoli he raised his game to a different level.
“His form is consistent, his front game is good, he scores goals and offers assists.
“He is the land focused. He is a player who plays with confidence and he works under a good coach in Antonio Conte.
“Napoli did very well to sign him – but Manchester United let him go very badly. The loss of United is Napoli's win.
“He was helped by having Gilmour next to him. When I have seen Billy play for Napoli, he did well and forced himself in the starting team.
“That is no surprise for me because he is a good player, and crucial for an Italian coach, he keeps the ball well.”
