Barcelona star Neymar drops Guardiola (and Man City?) hint

Barcelona star Neymar admits he'd like to play for Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola is expected to join Manchester City next season after announcing he's leaving Bayern Munich.

Asked if he would like to play for any other coach, Neymar told Red Bull: "Yes, there is one: Guardiola is a guy who I really admire and who I would love to work with.

"It is tough to say if I want to play in other countries. Nobody knows tomorrow, but I am very happy where I am right now at Barcelona.

"I have the will to go back to Brazil some day and I also would like to play in [the] USA - those two countries are two where I want to play later on in my career.

"[The USA] is a place where the game is growing and attracting the interest of lots of players, who are becoming more and more popular there.

"So this makes me curious, it makes me interested to see it closely."
