5 reasons why Neymar should join Manchester United and not Real Madrid

#4 Avoiding the hatred

Luis Figo of Real Madrid is bombarded by missiles

Apropos to the point made earlier, should he join Real Madrid, he will face a backlash of Barcelona fans, almost like what Luis Figo faced when he made a move across the divide.

While Figo’s blow was harder to bear because it happened so suddenly, Neymar has exuded a feeling that has perhaps prepared the Cules to see him in a Real Madrid jersey.

No matter how much they prepare themselves, though, the loathing will be there and it would become very difficult for Neymar to continue living a normal life with all of that on his head.

This is a man who cried in front of the media during a press-conference for Brazil because of French media’s excess pressure on him following his move to PSG.

If he joins Manchester United, he avoids the hate of Barcelona fans – who already dislike him for the way he left – and could redeem some respect by opting to go to United when he had the option to sign for Real Madrid.
