He said: "I’ve seen a lot of good things from him.

"I saw his quality – his touches between the lines – and he did very well against the ball.

McNeill also spoke after the game as he expressed his joy for the perfect start to his life in Yorkshire.

He added: "Delighted to get two goals is what dreams are made of.

"I think it has been good to be fair, all the lads have helped me settle in well.

"I am really enjoying it. I have been here five or six weeks and I have settled in really well.

"There is a lot of high pressing, there is not a minutes rest, it is 110 per cent for the whole game."
