The Argentine forward era at Barcelona has finally ended and he’s willing to take up a new challenge at another club.

Paris Saint-Germain have been tipped as his preferred destination with Manchester City reportedly pulling out of the race after they secured the signature of Jack Grealish.

However, a new report from journalist Duncan Castles reveals that Manchester United are ready to rival Paris Saint-Germain.

Speaking on The Transfer Window Podcast, Castles stated that Messi is available and looking for a club.

According to Castles, it’s interesting to see what decisions will be taken by clubs and Manchester United who have talked about their coherent strategy and planning that have gone into their transfers are considering they can we do something for Messi.
