Manchester United put on alert after PSG star Thomas Meunier admits he is frustrated by lack of first-team football
Belgium full-back is playing second fiddle to Brazilian veteran Dani Alves but says he wants to play every game
MANCHESTER UNITED fan Thomas Meunier seems sure to spark interest from Jose Mourinho after admitting he is unhappy with his fringe role at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Belgium star is PSG's second-choice right-back behind summer signing Dani Alves but wants to play every game.
Meunier, 26, has been linked with Old Trafford in recent months, especially as United boss Mourinho wants a long-term replacement for Antonio Valencia.
And when French newspaper L’Equipe asked if he was frustrated about his limited chances with the French big spenders this season, Meunier replied: "Yes, because I want to play every match, whether it’s against Gueugnon, Niort or Bayern Munich.
"I want to be on the pitch every time. I am in a team which is one of the top five in the world where the back-ups and the starters are about the same level."
Meunier played six Champions League ties and 18 Ligue One matches in his first campaign with PSG in 2016-17 after joining from Club Brugge.
But this term 34-year-old Brazil defender Alves has played both European clashes so far following his arrival from Serie A champions Juventus.

Meunier, though has shared game time with Alves in the French league.
And the Belgian said: "For me, Serge (Aurier) and Dani are equal.
"Dani has experience and he is a leader on the pitch.
"It takes a bit of luck sometimes. I see the choices of the coach. I just have to be patient for now, because I’m not the priority.
"But I will do everything to complicate the choices as much as possible when I play.
"I do what I can and I usually play good matches, which is important for the technical staff because they know they can count on me, but they already knew that last season."
Only last month Meunier tried to persuade Chelsea playmaker and international team-mate Eden Hazard to join him in the French capital.
Meunier said then: "Eden and Neymar are on the same level of ability.
"To my mind Eden could play for PSG with his hands tied behind his back. It would be a fantastic transfer for us.
