It is a thrilling time to support Manchester United, as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team focus on various aspects of the club, including upgrading the first-team squad.
Currently, Erik ten Hag is the manager, but it is unclear if he will have a say in the club’s transfer decisions at the end of the season.
Regardless, the Red Devils must stay informed about any potential transfers in the market, and it seems that they are particularly interested in one player.
Furthermore, this player has already been observed on multiple occasions.
“Joao Neves’ future will be discussed in the summer between Benfica and the player’s agent,” revealed Fabrizio Romano in his exclusive Daily Briefing. He added, “Manchester United is being linked, but they still do not have a director in place and are focusing on new signings and their summer plan, as I have mentioned before.”
“So, all the clubs mentioned in the media are just being scouted.”
Romano previously reported in October/November that Manchester United has scouted Joao Neves multiple times. There is no new information at this time.
At only 19 years old, it is a significant price of €100m (Goal) to place on a teenager, but it demonstrates how highly Benfica values him.
They are not naive enough to believe that he will never move to a club that can offer him better opportunities, but they will not be easily influenced or rushed into any financial agreements.
For the young player, the prospect of playing in front of a full crowd at Old Trafford must be appealing. However, as Romano mentioned, everything remains quiet for now.
