NEYMAR looks set to leave PSG from Manchester United with the Red Devils now above Real Madrid in the race for his signature, reports claim.
Neymar is wanted by Manchester United and Real Madrid with uncertainty growing over his PSG future.
The Brazil international fired the Parisian outfit to the Ligue 1 title, regaining the crown they relinquished to Monaco a year ago.
But Spanish outlet Don Balon say a sensational move to Old Trafford looks likely, with Manchester United now convinced he will be part of their playing squad for next season.
It is claimed Neymar is tired of Real’s delay in pushing for him.
And, consequently, United are now in pole position to secure the 26-year-old’s signature.
Jose Mourinho has reportedly rubber-stamped a transfer as he targets Premier League glory next season.
And Don Balon say Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez are both messaging the player about a sensational United move.
Sanchez and Neymar were team-mates at Barcelona earlier in their careers.
It appears the Chilean is using that special relationship to ensure he reunites with Neymar in England.
United are reportedly willing to make him the highest-paid player in the world.
And Neymar is seriously considering their offer as he targets a PSG exit just one year after his arrival.
Meanwhile, the Brazil star has admitted he faces the ‘biggest challenge of his career’ to ensure he’s fit the World Cup in Russia next month following an ankle operation.
“This injury is difficult, and the biggest challenge is right now, going to the World Cup after not playing for three months,” he said.
“The expectations are very high, not just from the fans but from me as well, that’s why this is the biggest challenge I’m facing.”
