Man Utd are weighing up a move for former Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves, according to reports.

The Daily Mail claim that the Portuguese international could be on the market for £20m during the January transfer window, with his contract at Al-Hilal set to expire next summer.

It seems the majority of United supporters on X would back a bid for Neves early in the New Year:

What has Neves been up to since leaving Wolves?

Al-Hilal paid £47m to bring the midfielder to the Middle East in the summer of 2023. He has gone on to make 112 appearances for the Saudi Pro League side, scoring 15 goals.

Neves helped his team win the league during the 2023/24 season, and he has also lifted the King’s Cup as well as the Saudi Super Cup on two separate occasions.

Man Utd are looking at alternatives

Neves is certainly not the only midfielder on the Manchester club’s radar, with the likes of Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton and Wolves’ Joao Gomes also under consideration.

Bournemouth’s Tyler Adams had been reported as another option too, but the American international has been ruled out for two to three months with a knee injury, which he sustained during the 4-4 draw at Old Trafford earlier this week.
