Neymar's father confirms Manchester United bid

The father and agent of Barcelona striker Neymar admits that Manchester United did make a bid for the Brazilian this summer.

Neymar's father and agent has confirmed that Barcelona did receive a bid from Manchester United for the striker during this summer's transfer window.

Louis van Gaal's side were linked with the Brazilian after a move for Pedro fell through, before completing a deadline-day deal with AS Monaco for Anthony Martial.

Neymar Sr told Boa Tarde Fox: "The offer reached Barcelona and the club contacted us saying they were not going to sell. They asked if we were interested, but that wasn't the case.

"Barcelona are not selling, he has three years still to go on his contract. It was Manchester's deal, but that offer is not on the table now, it has fallen through."

It has since been reported that Barcelona are keen to agree a contract extension with Neymar.
