PSG inform Man Utd they want to sell them Neymar ahead of Real Madrid

PSG have encouraged Manchester United to challenge Real Madrid in their bid to sign Neymar.

Neymar was hammered by critics this weekend for skipping PSG's title winning match against AS Monaco. Indeed, France World Cup winner Christophe Dugarry accused the Brazilian of "spitting" on the PSG badge. There's even claims Neymar was playing poker with friends while his teammates were beating ASM.

Don Balon says the latest controversy has many PSG directors now pushing president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to agree to sell the attacker this summer.

Real president Florentino Perez is willing to go to €400m to bring the former Barcelona star back to Spain. But PSG's board would rather do business with United.

Club directors know Perez has been in talks with Neymar's camp since September - actions which have left them furious.

If United are willing to better the €222m PSG paid to Barca last August, then a deal for Neymar will be entertained.
