Neymar gives encouraging signs for Man United move
The Brazilian international has had tax issues over in Spain and is becoming frustrated of living in fellow Barca forward man Lionel Messi’s shadow.
Man United boss Jose Mourinho had looked to swoop for either Neymar or Atletico Madrid French international Antoine Greizmann –but the latter signed a new contract with his club, following the hardships of a transfer ban.
Neymar is another option, but the Manchester side will be looking at a substantial buyout clause, according to reports.
Mourinho is in need of a highly-rated striker, with last season’s goal-getter Zlatan Ibrahimović enduring a serious injury that saw him eventually released from the side.
A purchase for Neymar, though unlikely due to his value to Barca, must still be of value to Mourinho, and if the opportunity arises, there’s no doubt he would attempt to strike a deal for the 25-year-old.
