Man Utd News: Neymar transfer alert, Neville slams Sanchez, Barcelona star approach claim
Alexis Sanchez has been slammed by Man Utd hero Gary Neville

Neymar has ordered Real Madrid to sign him this summer or he will consider a move to Manchester United, according to stunning reports in Spain.

The Paris St-Germain forward has been linked with a switch to Los Blancos ever since he left Barcelona at the end of last season.

The Brazilian reportedly does not want to waste any time in his career and is ready to quit PSG after just one campaign.

Spanish outlet Diario Gol claim Neymar regrets leaving Barca but not because of leaving Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez behind.

Instead the 26-year-old admits he left a European giant for a club still finding their way on that level.

Manchester United are said to have entered the race to sign the former Barcelona man this summer.

The reports say their main sponsor Chevrolet want Neymar at Old Trafford.

Alexis Sanchez needs to get into better positions for United, according to Gary Neville.

"A lot of his game is being spent there (40 yards from the opposition goal)," he said.

"He's trying to play one-twos from sort of 40 yards from goal.

"I'd like most of his touches, which is difficult, to be in that (18-yard) area more. That's where Alexis Sanchez needs to pick the ball up.

"If you look at his passes in this game, again a lot of his passes are from this (40 yards from the opposition goal) sort of zone.

"Again, for me, I see Alexis Sanchez at his best when he's in that left channel, around here, attacking defenders, committing them, playing one-twos, combinations.

"He has to try and get into that position for Manchester United."

United have approached Samuel Umtiti over a move to Old Trafford from Barcelona.

Could Neymar be on his way to Manchester United this summer?

The Frenchman was expected to sign a new contract at the Catalan club but they have gone cold on the idea.

Barca are said to have stalled on meeting Umtiti's personal terms, with his representatives demanding a huge salary increase from €4m (£3.5m) to €9m (£8m) a year.

The Daily Record report the Red Devils have approached the centre-back to see if he is up for a move.

Umtiti has a €60m (£53.5m) release clause in his contract which is well within the financial capabilities of United.
