Both Manchester City and United are keen to take Neymar to England.

The 17-year-old forward is currently contracted to Santos in his homeland, where he boasts an impressive record of 14 goals in 37 first team appearances.

Predictably dubbed as the next superstar of Brazilian football, Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly had him watched on a number of occasions during the past eighteen months.

However, should the Reds boss decide to make a move for Neymar, The Times claim he will face competition from his ‘noisy neighbours’ from Eastlands.

And City may well fancy their chances of landing the teenage sensation, as they could offer Robinho, who is desperate to Santos, as part of the deal.
