Neymar reveals Man Utd talks
The Brazil international insists that the Red Devils
made contact with him during the transfer
window, but he has revealed that the talks did not
result in an offerBarcelona forward Neymar has
confirmed that he was in talks with Manchester
United over a potential move to Old Trafford, but
says that the Premier League side failed to make
a concrete offer.
A possible move to Old Trafford was reported in
August, before the transfer window closed, with
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique refusing to be
drawn on speculation in a press conference
following the 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.
The Brazil international has now indicated that
talks between his representatives and United took
place, but an offer was not forthcoming.
“We had conversations, but there was nothing
concrete,” Neymar told ESPN Brasil when asked
about a potential move to United.
“I heard that there were offers, but none made it
to me.”
Louis van Gaal's side were in the market for a
forward player as the transfer window drew to a
close, eventually opting to sign French striker
Anthony Martial from Monaco, in a deal that could
rise to £58 million.
But Neymar's comments may indicate that United
are continuing to track the Barcelona star, with a
view to a further opporunity to join the Old
Trafford club in forthcoming transfer windows.
