Manchester United are making a move to sign Neymar and are in talks with Paris Saint-Germain to sign him.

Six years after shocking the football world by completing a world record £189 million transfer from Barcelona, Neymar is seriously considering leaving the French giant this summer.

Neymar, who has scored 13 goals and created 11 assists for PSG this season, has attracted interest from Manchester United who are said to be negotiating with the French team for his signature.

Neymar could leave PSG 

The 31-year-old forward, who is contracted to PSG until 2027, has been the star player since he joined the club. 

The Ligue 1 club, however, is eager to put the former Monaco player as the main player of their team and may let the Brazilian depart in July.

According to L'Equipe, a number of Premier League clubs have made their interest known and Man United are currently leading the race to sign the PSG star.

If Neymar is to join United they will need to qualify for next season’s Champions League and as it stands they are just one point away from confirming their qualification.

Neymar will improve United

Erik ten Hag thinks Neymar can help United go even further next season as they try to catch up to their neighbours Man City.

While PSG would prefer to recuperate some money for the Brazilian and part ways with him in a permanent transaction, United are reportedly in favour of a loan transfer for Neymar.

Luis Campos, a PSG Sports director, will meet with Neymar's representatives to discuss his future ahead of next season.

PSG are on the verge of winning the Ligue 1 title for the second time in a row. They will face Strasbourg on Saturday at the Stade de la Meinau.
