Man Utd prepared to meet £140m release clause of Barcelona star Neymar

Manchester United are willing to activate Neymar's release clause according to reports.

French publication Le 10 Sport suggests that Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal wants to meet Barcelona's buyout requirement of £140million in the summer.

Neymar has been in talks with the Catalan giants regarding a new deal but has so far been unable to come to terms and is believed to be considering his options.

The Brazilian star has admitted he is unsure of his future, despite being confident of agreeing a new deal with Barca, and until he does put pen to paper it is likely that rumours linking him with top Premier League clubs such as United will continue to linger.
