Manchester United would be prepared to activate Neymar’s £174m release clause if the Barcelona striker is interested in a move to the Premier League, according to reports.

Don Balon, as quoted by the Daily Star, is reporting that Manchester United would be willing to smash the transfer world record to sign the Brazil international this summer.

The same article states that Neymar is growing increasingly concerned about Barcelona’s lack of activity in the transfer market following Ernesto Valverde’s appointment as their new manager.

The Spanish side have been linked with moves to sign Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti in the summer transfer window so far.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have completed one transfer deal after Sweden international Victor Lindelof completed a £30.7m switch from Portuguese champions Benfica last month.

The Red Devils are thought to be interested in signing a striker having been linked with deals to sign Real Madrid star Alvaro Morata, his Atletico Madrid rival Antoine Griezmann and Everton’s Romelu Lukaku.
