Neymar is reportedly only interested in joining Manchester United if he leaves Paris Saint-Germain, but a move depends on the club’s takeover saga.
The Brazilian isn’t out of contract at the Parc des Princes for another four years.
However, recent vehement protests outside his own home have reportedly pushed him towards the exit doors.
It was revealed last Monday that United had opened talks with Neymar over a sensational summer move.
However, Foot Mercato is now reporting that Old Trafford is the 31-year-old’s preferred destination.
Indeed, Neymar is thought to only want to join United should he decide to leave PSG.
The decision is a potential blow to other Premier League clubs who had registered an interest with the Brazilian in the past.
Chelsea, Newcastle and even Manchester City have all been linked, while Neymar is thought to have already rejected advances from Saudi Arabia due to his strong preference for United.
However, as with much of this summer’s transfer activity, any move hinges on United’s ongoing takeover saga.

Foot Mercato reports that Neymar’s relationship with Qatar, not least through PSG’s current owners, would facilitate a move –Â should Sheikh Jassim’s bid prove successful.
