Rumors surround Philippe Coutinho as Barcelona take on Manchester United

Philippe Coutinho’s agents will meet with FC Barcelona after the Manchester United match, Diario SPORT informs. The purpose of the meeting is to figure out what will happen to the Brazilian next season. An exit has been long rumored, and coincidentally, United are one of the potential suitors.

Coutinho started as Barça won the first leg of this UEFA Champions League tie 1-0 at Old Trafford, but he may be replaced by Ousmane Dembélé in the starting XI at Camp Nou as the Frenchman returns to fitness.

The Brazilian has struggled to adapt to Ernesto Valverde’s formation and has not hit peak form yet.
