Former Manchester United fullback Arthur Albiston says Charlie McNeill can follow Shola Shoretire into the first team.
The Scot has been impressed by McNeill in his first season with United after arriving from Manchester City.
He told manutd.com: "...it's hard to ignore the attackers when I look at today's crop, who are a really good bunch of players.
"Charlie McNeill has weighed in with so many goals this season, and he certainly knows where the goals are. Hopefully he can push on into the Under-23s and be knocking on the first team door after that.
"When you look at the likes of Charlie and Shola Shoretire, there are some very good prospects in this U18s squad and Neil Ryan has done a great job with them."
