However, the Englishman has not received many first-team minutes since then and the Manchester side wants that to change.<\/p>\n<p>As per MEN&#8217;s Rich Fay, Erik ten Hag is ready to allow the youngster to leave if an appropriate loan offer comes for him. It&#8217;s also claimed that McNeill has attracted a lot of suitors from the Football League. The teenager is ready to make a move to a club in those leagues because of his craving to gain valuable first-team football experience somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/01\/08\/wout-weghorst-keen-on-manchester-united-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Wout Weghorst Pushing for Manchester United Move<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With United <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1611806574137196545?s=20&amp;t=BUg2TqAwpMQFwwb-euY4pg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a> to be close to a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/01\/07\/manchester-united-wout-weghorst-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">move to sign Wout Weghorst<\/a>, they are unlikely to have much use for McNeill this season.<\/p>\n<h3>McNeill\u2019s Career So Far Recapped<\/h3>\n<p>McNeill joined United from rivals Manchester City in 2020, having spent quite a lot of his teenage years with the defending Premier League giants.
