Manchester United
gaffer Jose Mourinho has reportedly been calling Barcelona super star
forward Neymar with an attempt to bring the Brazilian international to
Old trafford next season.
According to the report, Mourinho's numerous calls is to convince the 25-year-old to dump the Spanish giants in the summer.

It was also stated in the report
that the phone calls between Neymar and Mourinho have been going on for
weeks as the Portuguese manager has been explaining how the transfer
would benefit the forward's career and allow him to develop as a player.
Neymar has been linked with a
move to Old Trafford in the past, particularly following last summer's
legal troubles with the Spanish government over alleged tax evasion - he
will now stand trial after losing an appeal.

The Brazilian was pictured in
London recently after a difficult week in Barcelona - which featured an
unconvincing win at home to Leganes following a Champions League
thrashing at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
With
the club's captain Wayne Rooney on the verge of leaving the club in the
summer, Mourinho sees Neymar as a perfect fit for United with the
manager concerned over the team's over-reliance on Zlatan Ibrahimovic
for goals.
