Atletico Madrid fullback Kieran Trippier has urged Dwight McNeil to stay with Burnley.

The winger has been linked with a return to Manchester United.

But former Clarets defender Trippier told the Burnley Express: “Dwight has burst onto the scene, and when he trained with us last season for England he was brilliant.

“He's got to stay focused, keep performing well while he's young, and his time will come.

“I'd say 'don't rush anything, just keep playing' and Dwight is at the right club to do that. He just needs to keep playing games, because that's the most important thing for somebody his age.

“He's got the right manager to guide him and he'll be in no rush to go anywhere. If I was him I'd stay put and keep playing games."
