Neymar was asked by City’s Benjamin Mendy: “Neymar Jnr, answer me in French. Do you think you’ll one day play in the Premier League?”

The Brazil star responded: “We don’t know what will happen tomorrow but I believe that every great player, at least one day, has to play in the Premier League.

He added: "It’s a big competition, one of the greatest in the world.”

City currently lead the market at 3/1 ahead of the Red Devils who are 5/1.

Meanwhile Liverpool lead the Premier League's fellow big boys Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal in the market.

Katie Baylis said: “Having hinted at a stint in the Premier League, if he was to move to England then it would clearly only be the big clubs in the running, considering his record transfer to PSG.

"We make City 3/1 favourites ahead of United at 5/1 and Liverpool at 6/1 if he was to come here, in what would be a pretty big cheque written to get him here.”

Neymar moved to PSG in 2017 for a record-breaking £198million but is reportedly unhappy in Paris.

So far this season the 26-year-old has scored 11 goals in 12 Ligue 1 matches.
