  • Neymar and Mbappe have not always seen eye-to-eye in recent months

Neymar has liked posts on social media criticising his teammate Kylian Mbappe after Paris Saint-Germain ultras bombarded his house on Wednesday.

PSG supporters reportedly attacked both the Brazilian and his colleague Lionel Messi, and PSG outspokenly denounced the behaviour.

At Neymar's Paris house, chants of "leave the club" were sung, but the forward is currently recovering from a serious injury back home in Brazil, per PSG Report.

The playmaker responded by sending a cryptic message on Instagram suggesting he would not be drawn into the storm being created by the Ultras.

However, L'Equipe claims that the Brazilian was also engaging in more nefarious activities on social media, such as liking online posts that were critical of Kylian Mbappe, one of his teammates.

According to the French publication, Neymar liked a TNT Sports tweet that stated Messi and himself were happier together at Barcelona between 2013 and 2017.

Later, he reportedly liked an Instagram post criticising Mbappe from football analyst Ofuiclear.

“This PSG team is the worst in recent years. For what? Because they renewed their prince for an extraordinary amount," the pundit said.
He added: “The same prince who caused the UCL elimination, who had an easy pass for Neymar but made a pass to the keeper against Bayern. He thinks he’s god now.”

After announcing his pregnancy with his partner, Neymar is believed to be in Brazil.

Sports Brief earlier reported that Neymar and Mbappe have seemingly yet to put their differences aside. The duo was reported to have had issues to the extent that Mbappe wanted Neymar out of the club.

PSG to listen to Neymar offers

Manchester United's hopes of landing Neymar have been boosted with Paris Saint-Germain willing to listen to offers for the Brazilian forward this summer, Sky Sports reports.

Potential new Manchester United owner Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani has identified the Brazilian forward as one of the key targets he hopes to bring to Old Trafford.

Manchester United will, however, have to battle with fellow English Premier League rivals Chelsea for the signature of the Brazilian who is facing turbulent times in Paris with the PSG supporters.

Fans protest outside Neymar’s house

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Paris Saint-Germain ultras have been filmed at Neymar Junior's house, calling for the Brazilian to leave the club.

It has been a difficult week for the Parisians, who saw their Ligue 1 title hopes hit a snag after a home loss to Lorient on April 30.

The French giants also suspended superstar, Lionel Messi for two weeks following an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia.
