McNeil shrugs off Man Utd, Juventus talk

Burnley winger Dwight McNeil suggests that he is paying little attention to reports linking him with the likes of Manchester United and Juventus.

Burnley winger Dwight McNeil has played down alleged interest from the likes of Manchester United and Juventus.

The academy graduate has established himself as one of Burnley's key men over the past 12 months, while one goal and three assists have come in the Premier League during the current campaign.

However, rather than entertain an immediate move elsewhere, McNeil says that his focus remains on performing to his best at Turf Moor.

The 19-year-old is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: "I've got to focus on my football and if that comes around it comes around in time. The lads here and the gaffer try to keep me level-headed and help me keep my feet on the ground.

"I think the most important thing is for me to concentrate on my football and see where that takes me in the future.

"You can't get too far ahead of yourself because I'm still 19, I'm still young, I'm learning and I'm still maturing as a person and a player. We'll just have to see what happens."

McNeil has a contract with the Clarets until the end of 2022-23.
