Manchester United have been linked with a sensational move for PSG superstar Neymar, with Erik ten Hag desperate to bolster his attack in the summer transfer window.



Neymar no longer wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer and is looking forward to a reunion with former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique.


The Brazilian superstar, 31, was recently invited to join Manchester United after apparently setting his sights on a move to Old Trafford. United boss Erik ten Hag still wants to strengthen his attack in the summer transfer window and PSG are said to be open to selling Neymar, after signing him from Barca in 2017 for a world-record fee. then.


But Enrique's impending arrival in Paris will prevent any departure from Neymar, whose former manager is in advanced talks with the PSG hierarchy. It comes after club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sports adviser Luis Campos agreed to appoint Enrique, although current boss Christophe Galtier remains officially in the hot seat. L'Equipe reports that the change has changed Neymar's view of leaving the French capital in the next few months and that he is focused on a stronger return to PSG. The 31-year-old suffered a season-ending injury in March, forcing him to miss important matches during the break.


Neymar worked with Enrique to great success as they side by side for three seasons at Barcelona from 2014 to 2017. The Brazil international won his only Champions League title during his title-laden reign. club. . .


PSG have signed Neymar in the hope he will lead them to their first Champions League title but a second-place medal in 2020 is the best he has to show for his efforts. Perhaps Enrique could be the man to deliver what Al-Khelaifi and his teammates had always dreamed of, but the situation left United looking for new recruits elsewhere in the attacking department.


That could be a good thing, though, at least according to former Reds assistant Rene Meulensteen. "It can be rumours and speculation, everyone keeps it private," the Dutchman, who worked directly under Sir Alex Ferguson, told talkSPORT. "I'm apprehensive about it because he's obviously a highly capable player but he's also a prima donna.



“He has never played in the Premier League. Playing in Spain and France is completely different. Also, his best position is left wing and you'll use [Marcus] Rashford."


In contrast, former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes Neymar 'would love' to play for the Gunners. "I think Neymar would fit in any big club," Petit told Genting Casino. "If he comes to Arsenal, I will like it and I think he will too. I think he will appreciate the technical and stylish football at Arsenal. He likes to play with younger players because he is quite mature himself.


?"He will also take revenge in mind for all that he went through at PSG, and the tears he shed at the World Cup. I think he will be happy to move to Arsenal if he is right. like that. He can play left and right, and because of an ankle injury, he can be an alternate player."
