Burnley manager Dyche counting on keeping McNeil

Burnley manager Sean Dyche does not expect Dwight McNeil to leave this summer.

McNeil is reportedly an Aston Villa target, with their head coach Dean Smith a keen admirer, per Birmingham Mail.

Manchester United, Everton and other clubs have also shown an interest over the past 12 months in signing McNeil.

However, Dyche is counting on the 21-year-old, who has a contract until 2024.

"Absolutely," he told Lancs Live about keeping his best players this summer.

One McNeil specifically, he added: "I don't have to be determined, he is still here, so am I."
