'Prima donna' - Sir Alex Ferguson's former Manchester United assistant warns against Neymar transfer
26.05.2023 - 10:25 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Former Manchester United assistant Rene Meulensteen believes the Reds should avoid bringing Neymar to Old Trafford due to his reputation.
Links between United and the Brazilian winger have been sparked in recent weeks due to Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's interest in buying the club. PSG are currently owned by Qatar Sports Investment and, should Sheikh Jassim complete his takeover, the links could grow even more.
Neymar is reportedly unhappy in the French capital following his team's early exit from the Champions League this season. Erik ten Hag was asked about the prospect of signing PSG's man before securing their top-four finish on Thursday against Chelsea.

He responded: "When we have news we will tell you." This is understood to be a stock answer and United figures have dismissed the possibility of a transfer.
In an interview with talkSPORT, Sir Alex Ferguson's former coach Meulensteen warned Ten Hag he should not contemplate a move for the former Barcelona man. "It’s probably rumours and speculation, everybody keeps tight-lipped about it," he said.
"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. Also his best position is playing on the left wing and you’re gonna go with [Marcus] Rashford."
Rashford has enjoyed a brilliant season under Ten Hag after suffering a dip in confidence last year. The Englishman scored his 30th goal of the campaign during the 4-1 victory over Chelsea.
