Manchester United step up interest in Neymar

Manchester United boss JOSE MOURINHO ramped up his interest in Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar, and will push ahead with a move at the end of the season.

The Red Devils were heavily linked with Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale during the summer, but the 29-year-old Welshman now appears certain to stay at the Spanish capital for the long term.

Neymar’s future at Parc des Princes is quite uncertain, however, with the 26-year-old Brazilian believed to be open to leaving the French Champions, he joined in 2017 from Barcelona.

The South American is the most expensive player in world football, has notched 32 goals in 36 appearances for the Parisians since his arrival from Camp Nou.

The La Liga giants Real Madrid have long been credited with an interest, but according to Don Balon, Manchester United have made Neymar their top summer target in 2019, with manager Jose Mourinho desperate to secure his signature.
