Neymar's move to Saudi Arabia is turning into a bit of a nightmare amid reports he's fallen out with his manager.
The Brazilian superstar joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal from PSG in a deal worth around £75million just last month, but it looks as if things are already turning sour. According to Spanish outlet Diario Sport, Neymar is very unhappy and has asked club bosses to sack manager Jorge Jesus.
The 31-year-old has failed to score in any of his three appearances for the club so far and Jesus is understood to have criticised the player for having a "bad attitude". Neymar didn't react well to the comment and is now looking to use his influence to remove Jesus from his position.

The supposed falling out came after Al-Hilal's disappointing draw with Uzbekistani outfit Navbahor Namangan in the AFC Champions League last week. Neymar was seen shoving an opponent and booting the ball at him following an on-field altercation.
Football fans on social media lashed out at the former Barcelona man, branding him "petulant", "toxic" and "unprofessional". Some even suggested he'd mentally checked out of the sport and would better off hanging up his boots.

Jesus, meanwhile, is a managerial veteran with over 25 years of experience managing in top flight European football. English fans will perhaps best remember him for stints at Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Fenerbahce. He joined Al-Hilal in July, having previously managed the club between June 2018 and January 2019.
Despite the tension between Jesus and Neymar, Al-Hilal, who also signed the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic over the summer, have made a positive start to the new season. They're the only undefeated side left in the Saudi Pro League, having won five of their opening seven matches, and are just a point behind league-leaders Al-Ittihad.
The time for talking is almost over as KSI and Tommy Fury will bury their rivarly once and for all as they face off in Manchester on Saturday, October 14th. Logan Paul will also be fighting at the event in front of what is expected to be a sell-out crowd.
