Neymar: Manchester Derby over signing world class performer

Neymar appears to be on the move and what is more, there is a struggle between Manchester United and Manchester City over his signature.

The FA Cup will be played between the two Manchester clubs on Saturday, 3 June with kick off set for 16:00 at Wembley.

Arguably the biggest observer will be the PSG superstar. He has been linked with a move to the Premier League but will it be red or blue?

Neymar headed to England?

Neymar moved to the Ligue 1 giants PSG in a €222m (£198m) back in 2017 after a shock exit from Barcelona.

And despite scoring 118 goals from 173 appearances across six seasons for PSG, he is now reportedly a transfer option for any club able to afford his wages.

That immediately puts Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City at the top of the pile.

Manchester City, of course, have Pep Guardiola as their manager and with the Spaniard likely to stay long-term at City he has been linked with a phone call to ask Neymar to join his team.

Neymar, now 31, missed the last few months of the season through injury.

Guardiola vs Casemiro in agent games

SkySports have moved to play down the chances of a deal but there is enough talk that Neymar himself is reportedly keen on a move. Citing reports from Spain, Football365 claim plans are underway for Neymar to join Manchester United.

 L’Equipe reports that Casemiro is pushing for Neymar to join United and not City during the British summer.

Manchester United currently have Fred, Antony and Casemiro himself in the Brazilian team which would make Neymar feel at home.

Brazilian Willian appeared to confirm that Neymar is considering the move.
