“There were some conversations, but nothing concrete came of it. There were a lot of rumors, but I didn’t receive any offers”, he said.

But Neymar’s comments may indicate that United are continuing to track the Barcelona star, with a view to a further opporunity to join the Old Trafford club in forthcoming transfer windows.

Neymar is now set to begin talks over a new contract with Barca due to a clause inserted into his contract which states that it can be renegotiated in the third season.
Neymar had strenuously denied that he had even thought about a move away from the Catalan club when speaking to the press in the summer, telling the media outlet TV3 barely a month ago: “Barca fans have nothing to worry about”. I hope I will be on the Ballon d’Or podium this year’.
