Was a regular feature in the side at the start of the season, scoring at Old Trafford, but as the season wore on he drifted out of the first team picture.

A great little player when he is at the top of his game, McVeigh never really reached any great heights as City returned to the Premiership. He got a few games early on, and scored a memorable goal at Old Trafford, but he never started a game after the 3-0 defeat at Liverpool on September 25. That tells you all you need to know about the Irishman's season.

Verdict: A player who has plenty of ability, but has failed to display it on a consistent basis for a couple of seasons now. He's still got another year left on his contract but is unlikely to want to hang around in reserves.
