Erik ten Hag responds to rumours linking Neymar with Man Utd
A report from French publication L’Equipe this week claimed that United have opened talks with PSG and that Casemiro has been trying to persuade his international teammate to join him at United.
Neymar joined PSG in a world record €222m transfer from Barcelona in 2017 when the French giants ambitiously triggered his buyout clause at Camp Nou. His current contract at Parc des Prince, which was signed in 2021, has another two years to run.
90min has previously reported that Manchester United have been among the clubs contacted by intermediaries to make them aware of Neymar’s potential availability.
But Ten Hag chose to give a vague and general answer when asked for comment.
“When we have news, we will tell you,” the Dutchman said.
90min reported just this week that United are being kept informed of Neymar’s situation, but hold no active interest in the 31-year-old at this time.
United are considering signing two central strikers this summer, which Neymar isn’t, with Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen, Lautaro Martinez and Dusan Vlahovic among high profile primary considerations. The second would likely be a younger player to develop – Rasmus Hojlund, Santiago Gimenez and Goncalo Ramos. Benjamin Sesko and Mohammed Kudus have also been recommended by scouts.
