Manchester United

In 2020, Manchester United agreed a deal for McNeill worth a reported £750,000.[10][11] He continued his prolific form that made him a highly regarded prospect at Manchester City, scoring 24 goals in 21 games in his first season with the United U18 squad.[12][13]

He made his debut for United's first team as a substitute in the UEFA Europa League match against Real Sociedad on 8 September 2022, the day before his 19th birthday.[14]

Stevenage loan

In September 2023, McNeil joined EFL League One club Stevenage on loan for the remainder of the 2023–24 season.[18] Having struggled for gametime, he returned to his parent club on 3 January 2024.[19]
