Manchester United are reportedly willing to splash £100 million on Benfica teenage star, Joao Neves in the summer transfer window.
With 42 games under his belt across all competitions this season, the 19-year-old has only improved for the Portuguese team. The midfielder’s endless energy and pinpoint passing ability in the middle of the park have drawn comparisons to former PSG maestro Marco Verratti.
Given that Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo appear to be Erik ten Hag’s preferred combination at the moment, concerns about Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay’s futures persist. Particularly in light of INEOS’ impending investment and the anticipated influx and outflow of players later in the year.
The Mirror, as reported by Manchester Evening News stated that Neves is expected to draw significant interest this summer from some of the biggest teams in Europe. As he is the latest in Benfica’s impressive line of Portuguese talent from the past few years.
FootballFanCast reports elsewhere indicate that United will probably look to the market to bolster their left-back options.
Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have both missed a significant portion of the season due to injury. And now, Girona defender, Miguel Gutierrez is one player who the Red Devils are keeping an eye on.
