Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has refused to rule out a summer move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar.
The 31-year-old has spent the last six seasons with the French giants since his world record £198m transfer from Barcelona in 2017, scoring 118 goals and registering 77 assists in 173 appearances across all competitions.
However, speculation over Neymar's long-term future at the Parc des Princes has been rife in recent weeks, with both PSG and the Brazilian allegedly keen to part ways this summer.
A potential move to the Premier League has been mooted for Neymar, with Man United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle United all regarded as possible destinations.
Conflicting reports have recently surfaced regarding the Red Devils' interest in Neymar, with The Mirror claiming that they have held advanced talks with the attacker over a move to Old Trafford, while the Daily Mail states that talks between both parties are yet to take place.

Asked at a press conference on Wednesday on whether Man United will pursue a move for Neymar this summer, Ten Hag smiled and replied: "When we have news we will tell you."
Man United are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window and will looking to strengthen their options in attack by recruiting a new centre-forward.
However, the takeover process to purchase the Red Devils from the Glazer family has complicated matters and their summer transfer budget remains unknown.
Nevertheless, Ten Hag believes that the ongoing uncertainty regarding United's ownership should not have an impact on the club's transfer dealings this summer.
Asked by Sky Sports whether he will be able to carry out his desired transfer plans amid the current ownership uncertainty, Ten Hag said: "I think so. I came here last season and we talked about what we can do in the squad, what we can do with transfers. In the last year, the club confirmed they can do that.
"So for me, I don't think anything changes and in this summer period we can do the same."

The addition of Neymar would be deemed by many as a coup for the Premier League, but former Man United striker Louis Saha believes that the Red Devils should not pursue a move for the Brazilian.
Speaking to Betfred, Saha said: "It would be great for the Premier League to have Neymar playing in England because he's such a terrific player. He's 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 just a big fan of the player on the pitch but I don't believe he's lived up to expectations in his last three or four seasons with PSG. I wouldn't want to see him in a Manchester United shirt considering the exaggerated media attention a superstar like him would attract.
"The team structure is so important and still fragile at times. But I certainly believe he'd be a great addition to the Premier League."
Neymar, who has won 12 trophies including four Ligue 1 titles with PSG, is under contract at the Parc des Princes until the summer of 2025.
