​Burnley youngster McNeil hopeful of England involvement

Burnley youngster Dwight McNeil is keen to stay involved with the England setup in some capacity.

The Clarets' 18-year-old winger was part of the under-20 squad during the international break.

And he thoroughly enjoyed his time, hoping that he will get other chances to link up with the nation's best youngsters.

"It's been a good week away with England, getting to know the lads and a really good experience for me," he said to the Lancashire Telegraph.

"I thought I did well and they've said they will keep an eye on me.

"It was also great to see the senior lads around at St George's and to see what they do and how they go about things.

"You never know what happens in the future, but I'd like to be part of it again.

"It's a different style of football, which is all about adapting, and it's been a good week, with Friday just topping it off for me."
