Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has refused to rule out the sale of Neymar to Manchester United.

The Brazil captain has been linked with a shock move to Old Trafford, with reports yesterday claiming he would be open to the transfer.

It has also been reported that the 23-year-old Neymar would be allowed to join United, as long as the Premier League side meet his mammoth £137.8m release clause.

"Talking about Neymar and other clubs doesn't interest me," Enrique said after Barcelona's 1-0 win at Athletic Bilbao in their opening La Liga match this week. "I don't talk about rumours."

"I focus on what happens in my team."

Former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez scored the only goal of the game, with a 54th minute volley.
