Not that we believe a word of it but Manchester United are said to have held secret talks over the possible transfer of Barcelona superstar Neymar.
According to an exclusive in The Sun:
MANCHESTER UNITED have been in secret talks to try to buy Brazilian superstar Neymar.
A top Barcelona source has told SunSport the Red Devils have made a discreet approach to the La Liga champions.
The 23 year old Brazil forward has bean a sensation at international level with 44 goals in 65 games.
At Barcelona he has hit 54 in 92 games in all competitions.
The report suggests that Neymar could be tempted by becoming the main man at Manchester United but knows that he will have to agitate for a move as Barcelona resist all attempts to buy him.
We don’t doubt that Manchester United would like to sign Neymar give the chance.
He speeds up games with his play and scores goals. He can also play anywhere across the font line.
But the idea of Barcelona selling him when they can’t buy a replacement until January – due to their current transfer ban – makes no sense at all. Particularly given the recent sale of Pedro to Chelsea.
So I think that we can all put this one to bed immediately.
Let’s see the lad in action.
Manchester United fans: Do you think that there any hope of getting this lad at all this summer?
