Manchester United have already come close to signing the star midfielder that fans have been begging for
Manchester United are “very interested” in a deal to sign Ruben Neves
Manchester United remain interested in signing Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves this summer.
The Peoples Person recently announced that they have set their sights on a move to Spanish giant Barcelona.
Last week it seemed almost confirmed that he would be leaving after saying goodbye to his home fans at Molineux.
Neves has spoken publicly about his desire to play in the Champions League, with Barça following him throughout the season.
The midfielder was of interest to former United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he looked for a midfielder to rival Pogba, Fred and Scott McTominay. A move did not materialize due to the club’s inability to reach the pinnacle of European football at the time.
Sport Witness now say Manchester United are once again showing some curiosity to sign the 26-year-old.
Erik ten Hag is still looking for a midfielder to come close to his best after signing Casemiro and Christian Eriksen last summer. A wide range of targets, including James Maddison, Youri Tielemans and Frenkie de Jong, have previously been touted as possible midfield options.
The outlet says the manager has approached Neves to find out more about a potential sanctioned deal
Following this, the source goes on to say that “Manchester United are ‘very interested in signing him’ but the Wolves player would not listen to any offers from them or any other English club.”
Neves chose Barça. He and his camp are optimistic that the deal to take him to the Camp Nou will go through. The deal is not done yet, but everything is well under way,” the outlet says.
If Ten Hag is interested in a transfer from the Wolves captain, he will have to offer him a more luxurious package than the Spanish champions. If not, United will look elsewhere, with fans not wanting another De Jong-style saga to begin this summer.
