Manchester United are in advanced talks to bring Neymar to Old Trafford \u2013 with\u00a0Casemiro\u00a0playing a role in the deal, according to one report in France.<\/p>\n

Neymar became the world’s most expensive player when he joined\u00a0Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, but after six years of Champions League failure and fan dissent, things have turned sour for the Brazilian. Recently,\u00a0100 fans gathered outside his house chanting “Neymar, get out”, while PSG’s ‘Ultras’ supporters\u2019 collective issued a\u00a0statement criticizing “parasite players”.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old has not played for the Ligue 1 champions since February, when he injured his ankle in a 4-3 victory against Lille. That now appears to be his final game in France, with an exit almost certain following the furore from fans toward PSG’s elite superstars.<\/button><\/p>\n

According to French outlet\u00a0L’Equipe<\/em>, the Brazilian is now in “advanced talks” to join\u00a0Manchester United’s\u00a0Brazilian revolution, which has seen Casemiro and Antony move to Old Trafford in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Casemiro has reportedly been conversing with his Selecao colleague to convince him of the project that United is building under Erik Ten Hag. The pair have both been members of Brazil’s last two World Cup squads and know each other well from almost a decade of international duty with one another.<\/p>\n

While Neymar would likely be interested in playing Champions League football next season, however \u2013 United needs just one result against either Chelsea\u00a0or\u00a0Fulham\u00a0at home to qualify \u2013 whether the superstar would be of interest to Ten Hag is another matter.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman has already ousted Cristiano Ronaldo from his squad, believing the forward didn’t press with enough intensity \u2013 and Neymar has been criticised for a similar lack of work ethics at PSG. United have plenty of areas in the team to fix this summer and with their Player of the Season, Marcus Rashford, preferring a left-wing berth, there may not be an obvious place in the side for another player in that position.<\/p>\n
