Manchester United have been approached by intermediaries about signing Neymar from Paris
Saint-Germain this summer.
Erik ten Hag's side are one💲 of a number of clubs who have
been contacted about Neymar's potential availability.
While a deal might make sense
from a💲 commercial point of view, he is not currently a United target.
In any case, it
is difficult to see how United💲 would be able to sign him and pay his wages and how he
would adapt to playing in the Premier💲 League.
Sky Sports News reported earlier this
month that PSG would be willing to listen to offers for Neymar this summer.

provides the latest update from Paris💲 and all of the 'drama' going on with PSG forwards
Lionel Messi and Neymar
The news came after PSG condemned the💲 actions of supporters who
are understood to have gathered outside the home of Neymar and chanted for him to leave
💲 the club.
Fans were filmed chanting for the board to resign outside club headquarters
before further clips showed a group of💲 supporters visiting the home of Neymar calling
for him to move on.
Paris Saint-Germain are also set to see Lionel Messi💲 leave at the
end of the season, with the Ligue 1 club not planning to offer the forward a new
💲 contract.

Sky
Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol speaking earlier💲 this month:
Neymar is facing
an uncertain future at PSG. It's the end of the 'bling-bling' culture and they want to
💲 move in a different direction so they would be willing to listen to offers for
Neymar.
In the past they've been💲 willing to listen to offers for him and things have
not been going that great for Neymar.
There were these protests💲 outside of his house by
PSG supporters who were chanting, 'Get out of our club'. There was a very strong
💲 statement from PSG condemning that.
There's a lot of noise around Neymar and I think
PSG are thinking they don't need💲 this noise anymore.

Saint-Germain in the summer
I think him leaving would💲 fit in with their new strategy.
PSG don't want to be the Harlem Globetrotters or the Dream Team, they want💲 to be the
club version of that France side at the World Cup with young, humble and hungry French
players.
Hypothetically💲 the Qataris could buy Manchester United and then they move
Neymar from PSG to Man Utd to become the face💲 of the new ownership of the club.
An
issue, though, would be financial fair play. I don't think Man Utd have💲 the finances,
even with the new Qatari owners, to be able to afford to pay somebody an enormous wage
and💲 I also don't think he's a real Erik ten Hag kind of player.
But if Neymar is going
to leave PSG💲 then Premier League clubs have to come into the mix.
