It doesn't take League Two defenders long to find out about Charlie McNeill when they prepare to come up against the Manchester United loanee for the first time.
The 19-year-old has been with Newport County since January, earning his first taste of senior football in the school of hard knocks. It only takes a quick Google search for any unsuspecting opponents in the fourth tier to find out this is a player with 600 goals for Manchester City at youth level and a £750,000 transfer fee taking him back to United as a 17-year-old.
But McNeill's age-group exploits are now a thing of the past. The counter has been reset to zero, not that the forward was ever taking his academy record for granted when it came to securing a career in senior football.
