Man Utd Transfers: 5 Replacements For Robin Van Persie

2. Neymar

Neymar is by far the most promising starlet in world football today. The Brazilian is only 20 but bagged an astonishing 43 goals in 47 appearances for Santos last year. He came to prominence as a teenager when he plundered 42 goals in 60 appearances in 2010 and has a career total of 123 goals in 202 appearances. The word "phenomenal" was designed specifically for feats like this. Premier League Champions Manchester City are reportedly (and understandably) interested in the young hot-shot, who will cost any potential suitors £50 million if they want to pry him away.* Manchester United reportedly tested the waters with a £38 million bid for Neymar on transfer deadline day last September** but were rebuffed in their efforts as the player wanted to stay in Brazil until after his home country had hosted the World Cup next year. But Ferguson might be tempted to go in with another offer before then. Source(s): * Mirror, ** The Sun
