Momentum building for potential transfer of Manchester United player, as seasoned midfielder nurses interest in joining the club to address Ruben Amorim's midfield issues: source
Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves, who spent six years at Wolverhampton Wanderers before his move to Al Hilal in 2023, is reportedly open to a return to the Premier League during the January transfer window.
Neves, a highly-regarded player in Western Europe, could be an enticing prospect for Premier League clubs, with Manchester United being among those reportedly considering him as a potential midfield reinforcement. The tax-free system in Saudi Arabia, where Neves currently plays for Al Hilal, could be a significant factor in his potential transfer.
Manchester United, who added £200 million worth of attacking talent and goalkeeper Senne Lammens in the summer transfer window, could turn their attentions to a new midfielder in January. The club is in need of midfield reinforcements, and Neves' potential availability for around £17m could make him an attractive option.
However, according to current reports, there is no specific named candidate widely confirmed yet for a new midfield signing by Manchester United. Head coach Amorim is under pressure to deliver points and performances as he approaches 12 months in the Man United job, and any transfer decision will be made with careful consideration.
Other Premier League clubs may also be interested in signing Neves, who left Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2023 and is currently playing for Al Hilal in the Middle East. Neves has spent the necessary time in Saudi Arabia to avoid a large tax penalty if he returns to the UK, making a move to the Premier League more feasible.
The potential transfer of Neves to Manchester United is gaining momentum, but no reported talks between the player and the club have taken place yet. As the January transfer window approaches, fans and pundits alike will be eagerly waiting to see if Neves will make a return to the Premier League and strengthen Manchester United's midfield.
