Manchester United forward Charlie McNeill has joined Newport County on loan for the remainder of the 2022-23 season.

McNeill, 19, has made one senior appearance for United as a substitute in September 2022's Europa League game at home to Real Sociedad.

He has scored three goals in five games for United's under-21 side in the EFL Trophy this season.

"I'm really proud and honoured to be representing this club," said McNeill.

"I know it's a big club and a family-based club and I'm just really happy to be here.

"The gaffer made me feel really comfortable as soon as I spoke to him, he was really nice, he really sold it to me.

"I can't wait to meet the lads, get training and hopefully play the game on Saturday."

Newport, 19th in League Two and five points above the relegation places, are are at home to promotion-chasing Swindon at the weekend.
