Charlie McNeill, a loanee from Manchester United, made an impression by scoring for Newport County in their 3-0 victory over Northampton on Friday.
The 19-year-old has made a significant impression for United's development teams, but this season he has been sent out on loan to the League Two team to earn some crucial experience and game time.
Mcneill failed to score in his first ten outings at Newport, but has recently found some terrific form, scoring twice in three games. The on-loan attacker entered the fray off the bench and scored the third goal of the game and the game-winning goal with a clinical left-footed strike into the bottom corner.
On Newport's official website, McNeill's goal was hailed as a "unstoppable finish." McNeill is presently settling in in the lower divisions. McNeill expertly completed it, which exhibits abilities that United is currently lacking.
Despite defeating Everton 2-0 at home, United wasted a lot of opportunities during the game, which is best exemplified by the fact that they are now without a striker.
Wout Weghorst was favored to Marcus Rashford up top, but it is apparent that he is more productive off the left side, indicating that Erik ten Hag may not actually have a reliable center forward.
However, Anthony Martial did enter the game in the second half and score, The injury-prone forward is unreliable since it appears that he is just one step away from needing medical attention again.
As a result, ten Hag will be happy to see McNeill regaining his form, which may hint at the possibility of him playing up top for United if he stays for the upcoming season. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, In a National League game on Good Friday at Boundary Park, Altrincham and Oldham Athletic drew 2-2 thanks in large part to a spectacular goal by Manchester United-owned midfielder Maximillian Oyedele.
Maxi Oyedele rejoined Altrincham's matchday squad after assisting Poland's U19 national team in earning a spot in this summer's European U19 Championship throughout the course of the season's final international break.
With ten minutes left in the game, goals from Joe Nuttall and Bassala Sambou had the Robins down by two goals. The deficit was halved by Altrincham's Oyedele before Tyrese Sinclair scored the equalizer in the 89th minute.
The Latics defense only partially cleared an outswinging corner from Eddy Jones with his left foot, and it nicely fell to Oyedele, who from 25 yards out produced an incredible first-time volley that soared past goalie Magnus Norman.
Oyedele scored his first goal as a senior on February 18 against Woking, followed by his second goal three days later against Barnet, and his third goal in eight league games against Oldham Athletic.
