United have indicated that they will battle all the way with Real Madrid for the 26-year-old’s services.
United are serious on their bid, and they will do everything they can to sign the PSG star.
Despite his grievances, the speculation will not go away as both United and Real are reportedly willing to match Neymar’s £30million-a-year salary that he is now earning in Paris.
However, PSG once again fell short in Europe after going out in the last 16 of the Champions League for the second straight season. If Eden Hazard goes to Real Madrid, I’m sure Chelsea would be keen on a swap deal.
Neymar Sr has told the media that his son, himself, wants to leave PSG.
Having recently labelled some of his squad as mentally “weak”, United boss Jose Mourinho has apparently identified Neymar as a player who is tough up top and capable of leading a title charge next season.
Michael Carrick played his final game for United ahead of his retirement at the end of the season.
Asked about Unai Emery’s replacement as coach, Al-Khelaifi did not reveal a name but revealed the Spaniard’s successor could be confirmed as early as Sunday. “We had many discussions with him in the dressing room. I don’t want to talk about anything at the moment”, Neymar said.
Elaborating further on some of the positives, the 46-year-old added: “Well I improved my French, I am feeling closer towards Paris itself, I now know how the sentence “Ici c’est Paris” really means something special”.

“I spend my whole life, every transfer window, talking about it”.
