Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has finally responded to viral rumours linking Paris Saint-German (PSG) and Brazilian star, Neymar to the Premier League giants.
Earlier on, the Brazilian superstar has reportedly been given permission to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer and is interested in moving to the Premier League, according to reports in France on Monday night.
According to L’Equipe, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle were all interested in signing the player on a one-year loan.
They proposed that, rather than paying a transfer fee, his suitors pay his £606,000 weekly salary.
While Chelsea have become the early favorites—thanks, Todd Boehly—it was claimed that United, with Casemiro playing a key role in the plot, was attempting to sabotage the deal.
However, it appears that United will not make an effort to sign the superstar to either a long-term or short-term contract.
Additionally, Sky Sports claims that Neymar’s agents have contacted United rather than the other way around.
In a latest development, Erik ten Hag during his pre-match conference was asked if Neymar is a transfer target for Man United, the manager said, “When we have news… we will tell you.”
