Meulensteen warns Man Utd off Neymar

Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson's former right-hand man does not want to see Neymar at the club.

Manager Erik Ten Hag has been non-committal about stories linking his team with a move for the PSG winger.

However, Rene Meulensteen, who won several Premier League titles as a first team coach at United, would advise against such a transfer.

Meulensteen told talkSPORT: “It's probably rumours and speculation, everybody keeps tight-lipped about it.

“I have my reservations about it because he's obviously a high-calibre player but he's also a prima donna."

“He's never played in the Premier League. Playing in Spain and France is completely different," Meulensteen added.

“Also his best position is playing on the left wing and you're gonna go with Rashford."
