Could Neymar be on his way to Manchester United?

However, he has obviously struggled in the last year as he is yet to replicate the sparkling form he has in his first two amazing seasons.

The player has managed just 19 goals this season and likely to miss out on any trophy this season as Barca are unlikely to win the La Liga, recall that they also crashed out of the UEFA Champions League.

The Catalan giants have had a poor season, but they will play in the Copa del Rey final against Alaves on May 27.

According to Diario Gol, Neymar Santos Sr believes his son should move to Old Trafford.
