Neymar to Manchester United? Casemiro is likely to lure PSG’s superstar to the Premier League

Manchester United are in talks with PSG over the transfer of superstar Neymar. that writes L’Equipe. Several Premier League clubs have approached the French champions’ club bosses about the 31-year-old, but negotiations are most advanced with the Red Devils.
