Charlie McNeill announces exit from Manchester United
On Friday, United prospect Charlie McNeill announced his exit from United via an Instagram message which confessed his love for the club as he embarks on his next challenge.
“My time has now come to an end at Manchester United and I would just like to say thank you to all the coaches, staff, fans and everyone involved at the club for the best 4 years ever, from joining the club to winning the FA youth cup to then making my first team debut as an 18-year-old which was my dream come true and I will be forever grateful for getting that opportunity and living my dream of playing at the theatre of dreams for my boyhood club which I can thank the manager for.
“I’ve made some friends for life and learnt valuable lessons along the way. I love the club and it will always have a special place in my heart.
“Once a red. Always a red.”
