Jose Mourinho will demand to sign Neymar if Paris Saint-Germain press ahead with plans to sign Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial from Manchester United.

The Brazil international joined the Ligue 1 giants in a world record £224million transfer from Barcelona last summer.

After an encouraging start to life in the French capital, Neymar has grown disillusioned at PSG, fallen out with his coach Unai Emery and several of his high-profile teammates.

PSG remain adamant their prize asset will not be leaving in the summer, but the 26-year-old continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid and last month claimed there was nothing he could do to quell speculation he was preparing to join Cristiano Ronaldo in a star-studded forward line at the Bernabeu.

The soon-to-be French champions are already drawing up a list of ambitious targets for the summer, which the Daily Star claims includes Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial.

Pogba, who starred in Saturdays incredible Manchester derby victory, has endured a turbulent few months at Old Trafford and was offered to Manchester City in January, according to Pep Guardiola.

Martial, meanwhile, made a bright start to the campaign but has been used sparingly in recent weeks having lost his starting spot to new signing Alexis Sanchez and has regularly been linked with a move to Juventus.

The Daily Star claims any deal would see United having to trade both Pogba and Martial, plus around £50m, in order to sign the Brazilian superstar who has missed the last six weeks with an ankle injury.
