The former Manchester United coach Phil Neville has revealed he scouted Paris St Germain's Blaise Matuidi and the club wanted to sign the midfielder before he signed a new contract with the French club last season.

Neville was speaking after Matuidi put in an impressive performance for PSG in their 1-1 draw against Chelsea in the Champions League.

"We wanted to sign him. We'd heard his contract was running out and we were really interested in him. Then he signed a contact with Paris St Germain.

We were looking at it at Man Utd last year to inject a little bit of energy. He runs from box to box and he carried the team forward simply through his energy on that left channel."
