Manchester United make decision on Charlie McNeill loan

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Manchester United are planning to recall Charlie McNeill from his loan at Stevenage in the January transfer window. McNeill signed for Stevenage on a season-long loan in September, but he's made just three appearances and the Manchester Evening News understands he will be recalled due to his lack of game time.

The striker has struggled for minutes at Stevenage despite making a bright start and the break clause in his loan will be activated.

Every academy player who leaves United on loan has a recall break clause that can be activated after six months, which gives the club a chance to assess whether it's best for the youngster to stay on loan or not.

McNeill scored against Leyton Orient a day after he signed on loan but opportunities have been limited for the youngster since.
