Manchester United include Charlie McNeill in squad for Wrexham pre-season fixture

Charlie McNeill is among the Manchester United youngsters who have begun their journey to the USA to play against Wrexham.

United will play Wrexham at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego on Tuesday, July 25 as part of a week-long training camp and the line-up for the game will have youngsters from the first-team travelling squad, supplemented by academy prospects.

Erik ten Hag named a 31-man first-team squad for the club's tour of the States. Radek Vitek, Alvaro Fernandez, Kobbie Mainoo, Dan Gore and Omari Forson were included and they're set to be involved against Wrexham.
