Without any shred of sarcasm, the Sun are reporting that Barcelona star Neymar is “in talks” with Manchester United.
The British red top is set to publish a back page tomorrow with their shocking story about the Brazilian striker potentially moving to Old Trafford.
Neymar had been expected to sign a huge new contract with the La Liga giants in the coming days but according to the newspaper, United are trying to lure him away from the Catalans.
Unsurprisingly, the reaction on social media was extremely skeptical.

Pogba to Chelsea, Neymar to United, and I'm going to be the new Archbishop of Canterbury.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 21, 2015
I imagine the 'talks' went as followed:
'Can we buy Neymar?'
'No'The End.

Neymar has a better chance at joining MumpsFC than joining Manchester United.

So Man Utd are in secret talks to sign Neymar, according to The Sun.
Good ole Ed's day trip to Barcelona all makes sense now right? #MUFC

@GuillemBalague Hi Guillem. Just wondering which day is more likely for Neymar to be announced, Tuesday or Wednesday?

Obviously Neymar wants a new contract.
