Brazilian icon Neymar has responded to rumors claiming that he asked Al-Hilal to sack coach Jorge Jesus.

The 31-year-old left Paris Saint-Germain in the summer to join the Saudi Pro League side for around €90 million.

Several sources claimed the winger is unhappy with his new head boss and that he wanted the club to sack Jesus.

This comes following reports of a dressing room bust-up between the player and coach. 

However, Neymar responded to rumors as quoted by talkSPORT: “Lies... Y'all got to stop believing these things, pages like this... with millions of followers you can't keep posting fake news!

“With all due respect in the world, I ask you to stop this. This is a lot of disrespect."
