French reporter Romain Molina insists there's never been any tension between Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani and Neymar when they were together at PSG.

Much has been made of the 2017 'penalty-gate' incident between the pair when they clashed over who was to take a spot-kick against Lyon.

However, Molina said in a social media Q&A: "We have always opposed him (Neymar) against Cavani, but it's incredible bull****.

"They got along well. There was the penalty episode, yes. But there again it is the president's fault who tells you, to everyone, 'you are my captain' ...

"When we opposed Cavani and Neymar it was a stupid stupidity, I can tell you. So far, I know Cavani's family well, and I've never heard a single bad word about Neymar. And I can tell you quietly, I talk a lot with his brother. I never heard a single bad word about Neymar, on the contrary! He asked me the question of why we opposed his brother and Neymar. He did not understand."
