Manchester United make move for rivals City's 600-goal wonderkid Charlie McNeill after England youth star rejects contract offer at the Etihad

Manchester United are confident of signing 600-goal academy striker Charlie McNeill from rivals Manchester City.

The England youth star is set to leave the Etihad Stadium after rejecting a contract offer and United are set to swoop.

McNeill turns 17 in September, requiring the clubs to agree a fee or risk the figure being decided at tribunal. They remain locked in talks but McNeill will command a seven-figure fee given his exploits in the academy teams and his international experience.
