Man Utd signs ‘jaw-dropping’ coaches with training displays after the Man City change

Manchester United new signing Charlie McNeill is reportedly impressing the club’s coaches with his performance in training.

Childhood Red Devil is back in the club academy ranks this summer after a stint with rivals Manchester City.

McNeill, who plays as a forward, scored two debut goals for the Under-18s in a 4-0 win at Derby County last month.

And the men report that United sources described the 17-year-old as “ridiculously good” at training sessions.

England’s youth international McNeill has been signed by his former club for an initial stake of £ 750,000 which could rise to £ 1.5m after he turned down a City offer to stay on Etihad Campus.

There are hopes he can now continue to follow in the footsteps of Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood and reach the top team, making that £ 1.5m price tag a steal.

Spanish trio Marc Jurado, Alvaro Fernandez and Alejandro Garnacho were also confirmed to have joined the club over the summer.

In a statement, United revealed: “Manchester United can confirm the signing of two new additions to the Under 18 level.

“Forwards Alejandro Garnacho and Charlie McNeill joined the club academy from Atletico Madrid and Manchester City respectively.

“Garnacho, 16, played mainly in Atletico Madrid’s Juvenil B last season, but he also appeared in the Under 19 team.

Manchester United are trying to chart their own path to the top.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have lost Jadon Sancho in the summer, but he still made some big moves in the market with Donny van de Beek, Alex Telles and Edinson Cavani on the way.

But their start to the season was a mixed bag, with a home defeat to Crystal Palace and a 6-1 defeat by Spurs at one end of the scale, and a stunning 2-1 win over PSG in Paris on the other.

The question now is whether they can find the right balance?

“The Spaniard, who can operate both in front and on both wings, has completed a period of self-isolation after arriving from the Spanish capital and can now start training with his new teammates.

“McNeill is a 17-year-old forward who represented England up to the U16 level and was a prolific scorer during his tenure in Manchester City’s younger age groups.”
