"Manchester United" strategist Jose Mourinho has confirmed that acquiring "Barcelona" star Neymar is impossible.
The Brazilian national team member has been linked with a move to "Old Trafford" for several years, and rumors about offers from the "Red Devils" have been circulating constantly.
However, the English club's coach is ready to put an end to these rumors.
"With clubs, I always try to be objective and pragmatic and I only ask clubs for what they can give me," Mourinho told ESPN Brasil.
"The Neymar rumors are absurd. A club like "Barcelona" cannot and will not lose Neymar."
"On the other hand, Messi is still a young player with many years ahead, he performs well and is only thirty."
"Neymar will be the main player for "Barcelona" after Messi. I think that acquiring him is like trying to break into a safe - impossible."
The 25-year-old striker scored only 14 goals this season, but played a crucial role in Barcelona's incredible comeback in the UEFA Champions League.
