L'Equipe: Neymar Will Join Manchester United
JAKARTA Brazil's soccer star Neymar is said to be leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this summer. He is predicted to join Manchester United (MU).
Neymar's contract with the Paris giant is actually still two years away. However, speculation of his move continues to strengthen amid rising tensions with club fans.
French media outlet L'Equipe in his report said PSG reportedly wanted to release the forward with two years remaining on his contract.
They also said that MU had moved quickly to talk with Neymar. The Red Devils have reportedly started active negotiations with Les Parisiens to sign the Brazil international striker.
This rumor then strengthened after Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag spoke ahead of the postponement match for the 32nd week of the English Premier League 2022/2023 on Friday morning.
"When we get the definite news, we will tell you," Ten Hag said as quoted by Manchester Evening News.

The 31-year-old has missed the closing stages of the season due to an ankle injury that requires surgery. However, he was actually in his best form before the injury.
In total he scored 18 goals and provided 17 assists in 29 games across the competition. However, those statistics did not stop PSG supporters from expressing their feelings about the former Barcelona forward.
Neymar has an unfriendly relationship with loyal Parc des Princes supporters while in Paris. Some time ago, they even went to Neymar's house in Bougival and shouted for him to leave the club.
In addition, PSG also seems to be increasingly frustrated with Neymar's fitness problems which are constantly hit by injuries. This allows them to give up Neymar leaving.
If that's true, MU is expected to be one of the potential buyers. Moreover, the British giant is trying to increase their attack line in the coming season.
