Manchester United
I really like McNeill, he’s a top player for us. Tonight we saw the reasons he might never have made it at a top club like United vs a Mount or Pulasic.
It got me asking the question, do clubs like United ever really make a mistake (modern era) in releasing youngsters?

They were arguable bought by bigger clubs (Barca and Juventus) so weren’t released.cricketfieldclarets wrote:Pogba, Pique...
Re: Manchester United
So you don't think McNeil is good enough?
Based on what?

I think he’s good enough for us, too good. I don’t think he would make it at a top CL team and therefore United were right to let go.Spijed wrote:So you don't think McNeil is good enough?

Re: Manchester United
You can't really make that comparison though. He's our one creative outlet and we rely on him far too much for such a young and inexperienced player. Put him into a team with better quality around him and I think given the same levels he achieves for us, he'd look reasonably comfortable.Danieljwaterhouse wrote:I think he’s good enough for us, too good.

Re: Manchester United
I’m not here for a McNeill debate. I was just asking if we think big academy’s ever make mistakes? I don’t think they do.

Re: Manchester United
Yet you've stated that Juve paid for him...Danieljwaterhouse wrote:He wasn’t released is the point
He left Utd at the end of his contract, because he wasn't good enough at the time.Danieljwaterhouse wrote:

Back to the topic at hand, Jordi Alba was released by Barca because he was apparently too small, but they eventually paid good money to 're-sign him and extended his contract this year I think.

My mistake. I thought you were talking about him playing now, not twenty+ years ago.Danieljwaterhouse wrote:I’m sure they have been consistently for the last 20 plus years

But you are probably right about Man Utd's standards.
Re: Manchester United
Before you write off McNeil as not being good enough for the CL clubs can I just point out that he's still only 19.Danieljwaterhouse wrote:Even know I’m sure the academy at United will be prepping players for the highest standard.
At the same age, did James Maddison look like he would be a star in the making?
Let's see how McNeil develops in the next three seasons before saying he isn't good enough to play at the highest level.
Re: Manchester United
McNeil has the potential to make it right at the top, after all, he’s pretty close now and doing exceptionally well.

Read the OP not here to debate McNeill, people just jump on a bandwagon and start being keyboard warriors!
