MARCUS RASHFORD and now Charlie McNeill.

Manchester United are rich with youthful strikers set to dominate their first team in years to come.

Charlie McNeill has turned heads at Old Trafford since joining Man Utd

McNeill, 18 was snatched from United’s crosstown rivals Man City

But it’s the new kid on the block, 18-year-old McNeill, who is earning major plaudits.

A £750,000 signing from crosstown rivals Manchester City, who will be kicking themselves for losing another top talent (think Jadon Sancho), McNeill has turned heads at Old Trafford.

In 2018, he inked a six-year deal with Adidas that could net him over a £1million.

And in his first season with United, he crashed in an astonishing 24 goals in 21 appearances in the Under-18 Premier League, settling in better than anyone could have hoped.

But there shouldn’t really have been any doubts that his goalscoring prowess wouldn’t immediately translate with his new side.

After all, McNeill scored over a staggering 600 goals at youth level.

ALWAYS A RED DEVIL

Astonishingly, McNeill has bounced between the Manchester clubs a few times.

He was originally part of United’s academy and played alongside Greenwood.

Since moving to Man Utd, McNeill has exploded into life in his new surroundings

In 2014 he made the switch to Manchester City, where he established himself as one of the most impressive young strikers in European football.

His record in front of goal was nothing short of amazing.

For City’s U15s team he scored 110 goals in 72 games – while also registering 38 assists.

Knowing they had to lure McNeill back, United fought off competition from Juventus and RB Leipzig to bring him back to Old Trafford in October.

‘RIDICULOUSLY GOOD’

McNeill’s start to his second coming at United was phenomenal.

According to the Manchester Evening News, they’ve been told by United sources that the hotshot teen has been ‘ridiculously good’ in training sessions.

On his U18 debut his double earned United a 4-0 win over Derby County.

And in a stunning 4-3 win over Liverpool, he showed how lethal he is in front of goal – bringing a Noam Emeran cross down with one touch before driving a shot into the bottom left corner.

He’s a man who knows instinctively where the goal is.

With the likes of Rashford and Sancho working alongside him in tandem, United should be good for goals in years to come.
