Neymar, a star for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has apparently been in contact with Manchester United through his agency as rumors over his future intensify.
Following remarks made by club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Neymar, 30, is still being linked to a move away from Parc des Princes.
These remarks apparently incensed the former Barcelona star, and there have been rumors of the PSG forward leaving the team.
In order to determine interest in the Brazilian, Neymar's agents reportedly contacted Manchester United as well as clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City.
After losing Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani, Erik ten Hag is in charge of rebuilding Old Trafford this summer. He must focus on his attack.
The two are now free agents after departing the Red Devils, giving Ten Hag few alternatives for his frontline.
One of the few teams that can afford Neymar's high salary is Manchester United.
With a weekly salary of £480,000, legendary player Cristiano Ronaldo is presently the team's highest earning (via Goal).
Although there hasn't been any indication that Manchester United is interested yet, it remains to be seen if they will take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding Neymar's future.
The former Barca player's time at the Parc des Princes has now been extended until 2027 thanks to a provision in his PSG contract. That might have an impact on any possible deal that Chelsea or Manchester United would make for the 30-year-old.
The Neymar of PSG, would he want to join Manchester United?
Manchester United has finished a poor campaign in which they were unable to advance to the UEFA Champions League. Neymar has never participated in the UEFA Europa League, but he would if he moved to Old Trafford.
Therefore, the Brazilian might be hesitant to join a team that is in the middle of a crucial rebuild under Erik ten Hag.
It appears improbable that Manchester United will be able to persuade Neymar to join given the fact that there are other prospective suitors who will compete in Europe's premier club championship.
They have not yet indicated any desire to sign the PSG star.
Instead, to strengthen their attack, Manchester United reportedly has Ajax winger Antony on their radar.
Frenkie de Jong, a midfielder for Barcelona, is currently a target for the Red Devils as well.
We may then gain insight into whether Neymar would be on Erik ten Hag's wishlist once that maneuver has reached its end, in either direction.
