There was a featured article on Monday stating how happy Brazilian international Neymar is at Barcelona though Catalan newspaper Sport just could not ignore Manchester United’s interest in his services. The Red Devils have tried to sign the superstar forward in the summer transfer window though a deal did not materialize for the 23-year-old superstar back then.
Both the Spanish and British media had confirmed that United might make an offer for his services, with manager Louis van Gaal keen on strengthening his squad to win titles. Though a move away from the Nou Camp always seemed highly unlikely, regardless of Barcelona’s transfer ban and Pedro’s departure, the report added that the Premier League giants were absolutely serious back then.
It was added that they not only contacted the La Liga giants but also let his representatives know that they would have made him the best-paid footballer on the planet if he completes a switch to Old Trafford. However, things did not work out and he remains a Barca player till date.
