Barcelona flop Philippe Coutinho has reportedly issued a "come and get me" plea to Manchester United, as the Brazilian desperately seeks to end his Camp Nou nightmare.
The former Liverpool midfielder joined FC Barcelona 14 months ago when the Catalan giants made a staggering £142 million bid.
Coutinho has apparently struggled to establish himself in the club and has failed to appear regularly in the starting XI. Moreover, Coutinho believes that he hasn't been able to replicate the deadly form that made the Catalan giants place the mammoth bid for him in the first place.
Coutinho reached out to the Spanish players in Manchester United and he hoped that he could earn a summer exit to the Old Trafford.
Coutinho was jeered following his side's 3-1 victory against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday night.
Coutinho has admitted that he misses the Premier League while accepting the fact that Liverpool is unlikely to want him back because of the protracted negotiations over his transfer which ultimately resulted in a fall-out between the two clubs as well.
Coutinho is still in his first full year with Barça and the arrival of the Dutch wunderkind in Frankie de Jong next summer and according to many pundits, the move is likely to push the 26-year-old down the pecking order.
PSG are looking to get one up against FC Barcelona after the Catalan giants beat them in the race to sign de Jong.
In the 62 start-stop times that Philippe has featured for Barcelona, he has managed to get an underwhelming number of 18 goals to his credit and a meager 7 assists. Philippe's dismal performances have kept him on the bench and one might figure that Coutinho's stay with FC Barcelona might just prove to be a short one.
It is evident that Phillippe Coutinho is struggling at Barcelona but to think that he might move to United- a direct rival of Liverpool- seems a bit crazy. But there is a history of transfers among both clubs so nothing can be ruled out, especially with United needing a winger given that Sanchez has failed to impress.

Philippe Coutinho is struggling at the Camp Nou and it has been evident for quite some time now.
Should Philippe's favored destination in Manchester United make a bid of £86 million, things might just go Coutinho's way. Do you think the Brazil international will succeed at the Old Trafford?
