5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

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." This clip is from 5 live Sport Tuesday 17 February 2015.
