Born in Droylsden,[3] McNeill started his career with Manchester United, who he supported growing up,[4][5] before leaving for city rivals Manchester City in 2014.[6][7][8] While with City, McNeill scored over 600 goals at youth level.[9]
In 2020, Manchester United agreed a deal for McNeill worth a reported £750,000.[10][11] He continued his prolific form that made him a highly regarded prospect at Manchester City, scoring 24 goals in 21 games in his first season with the United U18 squad.[12][13]
He made his debut for United's first team as a substitute in the UEFA Europa League match against Real Sociedad on 8 September 2022, the day before his 19th birthday.[14]
On 31 January 2023, McNeill signed for League Two club Newport County on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.[15] He made his Newport debut in the starting line-up for the League Two 2-1 win against Swindon Town on 4 February 2023.[16] He scored his first goal for Newport in the 3-1 League Two win against Tranmere Rovers on 18 March 2023.[17]
In September 2023, McNeil joined EFL League One club Stevenage on loan for the remainder of the 2023–24 season.[18] Having struggled for gametime, he returned to his parent club on 3 January 2024.[19]
McNeill has a contract with German brand Adidas, which could reportedly rise to a value of £1 million.[9]
