Sheffield Wednesday are set to fend off international competition for the hot-shot striker

It’s fair to say that the striker hasn’t exactly gone to plan since making the transition to the senior game and was released by The Red Devils this summer without making a senior appearance for the Premier League outfit.

McNeil does have some senior football to his name though, through loan spells at Newport County and more recently Stevenage. He hardly set the world on fire in either, scoring twice in 20 appearances for the former and once in three games for the latter, a move that really didn’t work out for him.

Now released by Manchester United, McNeil’s next move is incredibly important to getting his career back on track. At 20, he still has bundles of potential, he just needs to show it in the senior game.

The striker is set to remain in England despite international interest, with Michael Plant revealing that Sheffield Wednesday are the club expected to sign the youngster.
