Philippe Coutinho not interested in Man Utd
Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho will snub Manchester United, according to reports.
The Brazilian could leave the Nou Camp this summer with several high-profile clubs interested in his signing.
But Coutinho will not move to United because of his history with Liverpool and the fact they did not qualify for the Champions League.
That’s according to Sport who claim the midfielder is more likely to move to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Matthijs de Ligt transfer pursuit
Manchester United’s pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt has been mocked by a Barcelona insider, according to reports.

And the Independent say a Barcelona official recently mocked United for their own transfer assault.
The person, who is unnamed, supposedly said: ““With the state they’re in, it’s not far off picking the Chinese league, career-wise. It’d be sacrificing development and ambition for money in the same way.”
