Manchester United Linked With Shock Dwight McNeil Return as Youngster Given Surprise Advice<\/h2>\n

McNeil\u2019s Incredible Season<\/h3>\n

Dwight McNeil has been great for Burnley this season. The 20-year-old joined the Clarets in 2014 from Manchester United\u2019s youth system and has since gone on to excel there.<\/p>\n

He has two goals and five assists so far this campaign but has more to show than just stats. The Englishman has been an incredibly classy addition to Burnley\u2019s midfield since his first-team breakout, attracting interest from Manchester United, who are looking to build a young, talented team – one which McNeil could fit with well.<\/p>\n

Kieran Trippier\u2019s Advice<\/h3>\n

Kieran Trippier, who used to play for the Lancashire side, spoke to the Burnley Express about McNeil\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDwight has burst on to the scene, and when he trained with us last season for England he was brilliant,\u201d said Trippier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got to stay focussed, keep performing well while he\u2019s young, and his time will come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019d say \u2018don\u2019t rush anything, just keep playing\u2019 and Dwight is at the right club to do that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHe just needs to keep playing games, because that\u2019s the most important thing for somebody his age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got the right manager to guide him and he\u2019ll be in no rush to go anywhere. If I was him I\u2019d stay put and keep playing games.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He also said that \u201cSometimes it can be difficult when you go to another club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve experienced it. I went to Tottenham<\/a> and I didn\u2019t play for months and you get frustrated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cFor somebody like him, who is doing really well, why would you move now? There\u2019s no point. Just keep performing well on the biggest stage and stay put.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI was in a different situation to him, I\u2019d just been relegated so I needed to go to a Premier League<\/a> club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHe\u2019s playing well week in week out for a Premier League club. He\u2019s a big player for Burnley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019d stay put if I was him and keep enjoying his football.\u201d<\/p>\n
