Photo: Instagram/Neymar Jr Despite rumors suggesting that Manchester United might make a shock move for Neymar Jr during the upcoming transfer window, the deal would be impossible due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) concerns related to the player's high wages. The Brazilian star is said to have been eyed as a marquee signing for United's potential buyer Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani , who is looking for total control of the club should his £5bn bid be successful. However, Neymar's wages of upwards of £606,000 per week make him out of reach for Manchester United, even if they were to sell several players to shake up their wage bill. Photo: Instagram/Neymar Jr continues to raise the bar and solidify his legacy as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Despite the fact that Butler has never won a championship, he is the last person that players on the road to the championship want to face.
