Manchester United have approached Barcelona over the prospect of signing Lionel Messi.
That is the claim from the Daily Mail, which says United have contacted Barca twice in the last three weeks to explore the possibility of bringing the Argentina star to Old Trafford.
The paper claims any move would likely wait until next summer, by which time United hope to be back in the Champions League, when Messi has only a year remaining on his contract at the Nou Camp.
“Sources close to Messi refused to rule out of the possibility of a move.
They admitted to that the player is increasingly ‘frustrated and hurt’ by the media circus in Spain that has surrounded a legal case investigating his tax affairs.”
United have consistently chased the world’s biggest names over the last three years, with Gareth Bale, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo all pursued to no avail.
