Barcelona and Manchester United are both in the market for a right-back and were willing to make an offer to Dortmund for the 30-year-old defender.

Borussia Dortmund are however not desperate to cash in on Thomas Meunier as the defender still has two years left on his present deal with the Bundesliga giants.

Manchester United prepare £12.6m bid to sign Meunier

Meanwhile, Manchester United are ready to let go of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and are preparing to replace the right-back with Borussia Dortmund’s Thomas Meunier.

According to Team Talk, the Red Devils are ready to table an offer of £12.6m to Borussia Dortmund for the Belgian defender before the summer transfer window closes.

Erik ten Hag wants more forward-thinking options who play on the front foot as his full-backs and Meunier certainly ticks that box for the Dutch manager.

Thomas Munier claims superstar Neymar has lost his magic

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Borussia Dortmund full-back Thomas Meunier believes Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar has lost his magic touch.

Meunier, who admits to being a big fan of the Brazilian forward, reckons Neymar's level has dropped since switching Barcelona for the French capital at a world-record fee back in 2017.

The Belgian defender played alongside Neymar for three seasons before heading to the Bundesliga to sign for Dortmund in 2020.
