Neymar confirms Manchester United talks

Barcelona ace Neymar reveals that he was speaking with Manchester United, but insists that the Red Devils' interest was not "concrete".

Barcelona star Neymar has confirmed that he held discussions with Manchester United over a potential move during the summer.

Speculation was rife last month that the Red Devils were lining up a mega-money bid for the 23-year-old forward, whose buyout clause is reportedly £140m.

The Brazilian was quick to quash rumours at the time by insisting that he was happy at Camp Nou, but he now admits that negotiations took place.

"We had conversations, but there was nothing concrete," Neymar told ESPN. "I heard that there were offers, but none made it to me."

His contract with the Catalans expires in 2018.
