Manchester United have reportedly 'started talks' with Paris Saint-Germain over a shock move for Neymar.
French news publication L'Equipe claim that discussions have been 'initiated' with Premier League clubs, and the Red Devils are among them.

Neymar is currently tied to a new deal keeping him at the Stade De France until 2027, but the Ligue 1 side's desire to put Kylian Mbappe at the forefront of the team is said to be frustrating Neymar.
However, Manchester United are not alone in their interest.
The report states that several Premier League clubs have entered talks with PSG to sound out Neymar's availability, but the Red Devils are said to be the 'most advanced at this stage'.
