However, his incisiveness in front of the goal at City put him back on United's radar, leaving the team, with no choice but to lure him back.

Man United ready to offload McNeil

Despite his goalscoring prowess, reports suggest that the Red Devils are looking to temporarily offload McNeil.

The England Youth star is understood to be open to a temporary move away from Man United as he eyes first-team football.

Meanwhile, the 19-year-old has had a somewhat calm season in the Premier League 2 this season, having managed just one goal in 12 outings so far.

This is in complete contrast to his form in his first season when he scored an eyewatering 24 goals in 21 appearances for the under-18s.

Rashford breaks Rooney record

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Marcus Rashford has broken a 12-year Manchester United record previously held by club legend Wayne Rooney.

The Man United forward has been in sensational form this season under Erik ten Hag, having already scored an incredible 15 goals across competitions.

The England international has netted 15 times across competitions so far, with seven of those goals coming in the Premier League.
