Charlie McNeill is a young English striker who is part of our youth side. Born in 2003, McNeill has made quite a name for himself, scoring 600 goals at youth level for rivals Manchester City.
During one season for the City U15s, McNeill scored 110 goals and provided 38 assists in 72 games, staggering numbers.
The young striker signed for United in September 2020 for £750,000 and has made a fantastic start to his Red Devils career.
McNeill plays in the U18 Premier League, making 11 appearances and with scored 12 goals. An average of one goal every 68 minutes.
United currently sit top of the U18 Premier League table with 12 wins and 2 losses, scoring 40 goals in the campaign so far.
What can he bring to United in the future?
McNeill offers great potential to an already young Manchester United squad. At only 17, McNeill will have an opportunity to play with some of our young talents; Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Amad Diallo, Axel Tuanzebe, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay etc.
The young forward is strong in the air, two-footed and lethal in front of goal.
Controversial move…
McNeill joins several other players to have transferred between the two Manchester clubs. United fans will enjoy his decision to join the greater club in Manchester. City fans on the other hand will forever have a grudge against the 17 year old.
United fans will be hoping he will have a prospering career at United, scoring plenty of goals against our cross-city rivals. In fact, McNeill scored 4 goals against City in their recent derby fixture in the U18 league game, catching the eye of many United fans!
