Charlie
Biography
Striker who left the club as a schoolboy but returned from Manchester City in the summer of 2020.
A prolific scorer throughout his time with the Blues’ Academy, he wasted little time finding the net with United, his boyhood club. McNeill claimed a brace on his debut against Derby County and has kept up the goalscoring form throughout the 2021/22 season. Five goals in the run to the FA Youth Cup final put McNeill at the top of our scoring charts in that competition, alongside Alejandro Garnacho before the Argentina Under-20 international netted twice more in the win over Nottingham Forest. McNeill has also enjoyed semi-regular appearances at U21 and U23 level, playing in the EFL Trophy and Premier League 2, always looking a goal threat. The striker was added to the B list of United's squad for the 2022/23 Europa League group stage by manager Erik ten Hag and was handed his senior Reds debut in our opening fixture of the competition, coming on as a second-half substitute against Real Sociedad at Old Trafford on 8 September 2022.
