The report added that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will make the special request to bring Neymar to the Premier League immediately the club hire him as United manager permanently.

It will be a big deal for the Brazil international who is regarded as the third best player in the world behind Ronaldo and Messi.

He joined PSG 18 months from reigning Spanish champions Barcelona in a record £200m switch.

But Neymar’s time in France has been far from perfect, with reports suggesting he has failed to settle and craves a move elsewhere.

Neymar was unable to face Manchester United in the Champions League first leg in the round of 16, and he will also miss the return leg in Paris due to the injury.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how ex Manchester United gaffer Jose Mourinho made it clear that Paris-Saint-Germain star Neymar will have to win trophies with Brazil before he can be compared with Pele.

Neymar is known as one of the best footballers in the world considering how he stormed the Spanish La Liga before he left for a world record move to PSG.
