Burnley winger McNeil: I watched everything Giggs would do

Burnley winger Dwight McNeil admits growing up idolising Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs.

McNeil left United as a 15 year-old to join the Clarets.

He told Lancs Live, “I used to watch everything he did.

"Direct dribbles past people, crosses, goals, leadership, I just lapped it up. I was a United fan anyway, and so was my brother Bailey, but whereas he used to change the name on the back of his shirt quite often, every time United bought someone exciting or new, I just stuck with Giggs all the way through."
