Manchester United youngster Charlie McNeill has apologised for aiming a dig at Liverpool after saying 'it would be good to rub it in their faces' ahead of their potential FA Youth Cup clash.

United's Under-18s will either face Liverpool or Sutton United in the next round of the competition after McNeill scored in a 2-0 win over Salford on Wednesday night to help them progress.

After the match, the 17-year-old forward stoked up the rivalry with Liverpool by admitting he is relishing the prospect of knocking them out of the Youth Cup.
