If they're behind the striker, no, not at all. But I think for the first game away Moyes will have a pretty solid 4-5-1, so McNeil is pretty disciplined and can bang one in.
Long-term I very much hope Alcaraz claims the spot behind the striker, he's got everything I like to see in a footballer.

McNeil without dead ball ability gives nothing. He's so far off the pace that I’m not sure he even gets on the bench. Previous Message
Pickford
O'Brien Branthwaite Tarkowski Mykolenko
Gana Garner Dewsbury-Hall
McNeil Ndiaye
Beto
Subs: Travers / Keane / Aznou / Armstrong / Tim /Alcaraz / Barry
But hopefully couple more in this week. Previous Message
Potentially no different to last year
Beto will start ahead of Barry.
Dewsbury Hall might be a game of two too early.
