Saha: Neymar 'would be great for EPL but I wouldn't want to see him in Man Utd'

Louis Saha has claimed Neymar Jr would be great for the Premier League, but doesn't see him playing for Manchester United.

The Paris Saint-Germain ace is the most expensive player in history following his £198million transfer from Barcelona to the Ligue 1 outfit.

The Brazilian star is tied to a contract at his current club that is set to keep him in Paris until 2027.

But the 31-year-old has been linked with moves to both Chelsea and the Red Devils amid concerns over his fitness and form.

'It would be great for the Premier League to have Neymar playing in England because he's such a terrific player,' the former United striker, 44, told Betfred.

'He's very entertaining to watch but I can understand the question marks that can come from having a player like Neymar at your club.

'I'm just a big fan of the player on the pitch but I don't believe he's lived up to expectations in his last three or four seasons with PSG.

'I wouldn't want to see him in a Manchester United shirt considering the exaggerated media attention a superstar like him would attract.

'The team structure is so important and still fragile at times. But I certainly believe he'd be a great addition to the Premier League.'

Saha made 124 appearances for Manchester United across four years, before moving to Everton, Spurs and then Sunderland.

He finished his professional career at Lazio in 2013.

Neymar was ruled out for the rest of the current campaign following necessary ankle surgery in Doha.

PSG have gone on to pick up seven wins from their nine Ligue 1 matches in Neymar's absence as the French giants look set to claim their ninth title in ten seasons.
