Manchester United are in talks with Barcelona over a summer move for Barcelona star Neymar, his agent has confirmed.

Reports have United with a move for the Brazilian in the last few days, and Pini Zahavi admitted that talks are ongoing for a player he describes as the best in the world.

He told The Sun: "It is normal such a giant club as Manchester United would wish to win the services of Neymar, the best player in the world.

"It would be astonishing if United pulled off such a coup, but they are making a play for him."

Neymar joined Barcelona from Santos in 2013.
