Saha backing Neymar for Premier League move: But not to Man Utd

Former France striker Louis Saha is backing PSG star Neymar for a move to England.

However, he doesn't want to see Neymar join his old club, Manchester United.

Saha told Goal.com: "It would be great for the Premier League for Neymar to play in England because he is such a great player. He is very entertaining to watch but I can understand the question marks that can come from having a player like Neymar at your club.

"I'm a big fan of the player on the pitch but I don't think he's lived up to expectations in his last three or four seasons at PSG. I wouldn't want to see him in a Manchester United shirt given the excessive media attention a superstar like him would attract.

"The team structure is so important and sometimes fragile. But I really think he would be a great addition to the Premier League."
