Burnley manager Sean Dyche has admitted Dwight McNeil will move to a bigger club in the future.

McNeil is a target for Manchester United, who he represented at academy level, and Crystal Palace are also keen on him for the January transfer window if Wilfried Zaha leaves south London.

The 20-year-old broke through at Turf Moor last season and he has established himself in the first team this campaign, making 16 appearances in the Premier League.

But Dyche was honest and revealed he thinks McNeil will 'outgrow' Burnley one day.

Dyche said: 'Look, we know Dwight is a player who will certainly go beyond us – but in a positive way.

'We don't remotely want to lose good players. But eventually some players will outgrow the club in the sense of a bigger club coming along and buying them because of their skill set.

'Dwight is clearly a top talent. He is playing and delivering every week.

'If he remains grounded and keeps the hard work ethic he's got – and I'm sure he will do that - then his talent will continue to shine through.

And we're not naive enough to think it's going to go un-noticed.'

McNeil and Burnley take on Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday as they look to arrest a run of three straight defeats.
