Charlie McNeill has been training with the first-team ahead of the Liverpool match on Monday.

Manchester United Football Club play a hugely significant game at Old Trafford on Monday night against Liverpool.

Having lost their first two matches, the pressure is on. There’s also huge spotlight on United and the Glazer ownership.

Anthony Martial is set to return in some capacity, following resuming training earlier this week.

However, there was another striker spotted in first-team training; young Charlie McNeill.

The striker, acquired from Manchester City, had an excellent 2021/22 campaign, directly contributing to 23 goals, including scoring five during the Reds’ successful FA Youth Cup run.

Now, Erik ten Hag has given McNeill the opportunity to show what he can do with some of the best players in the world.

The fact that McNeill was not taken on pre-season tour probably indicates that Ten Hag believes the young Mancunian is still a year away from being ready. However, this opportunity should not be taken lightly and it’ll be a massive confidence boost for the player.

McNeill is a proven goalscorer. His famously scored over 600 goals for City’s academy before making the move across the city. It can be argued that someone who knows where the back of the net is, is United’s biggest need right now.

Who knows, if Cristiano Ronaldo does get his wish to leave the club, there’s every chance we see McNeill in some capacity this season – assuming he doesn’t head out on loan.

At this point, I’d be all for the club trusting in their youth system. It’s where United’s strengths have always lay, so why not get back to those roots?
