According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are interested in buying Wolves' midfielder Ruben Neves in this winter window to make up for the lack of midfield. In the previous match against Wolves, he and another Portuguese midfielder Moutinho were the key reason for Wolves' victory, and it was his performance in the game that made Manchester United's former manager Ronnick leave a great impression on him.
For Manchester United, the current midfield position is the most in need of reinforcement. Manchester United's current players are in poor form, B Fee, Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic are unstable, while other players Van de Beek and Lingard are the oldest in the past, and Lonnick does not want to use them at all. It was also Pogba's injury that made fans aware of his importance to this team, a player who could advance with the ball and deliver deadly passes with precision was what United needed.
Joining Manchester United, these points are key
The 24-year-old Ruben Neves has been a teammate for many years with Ronaldo and B Fee in the national team, and he once won the UEFA Nations League championship with Ronaldo for 19 years. In Manchester United, he also has compatriots like B Fei to partner with him, and it can be said that although Wolves have the name of "grape wolf", the temptation of these two absolute superstars is definitely not comparable to other players.
In addition to these factors, his agent Mendes also played a role in the middle, the same Portuguese, B Fee and C Ronaldo are the Manchester United he got, under his impetus, Neves will have a very good chance of joining Manchester United.
Wolves' official attitude is good, they are willing to listen to any offer to give this Portuguese midfielder. After continuous in-depth cultivation, Wolves have also cultivated a group of players, it seems that it is time for them to change hands and get profitable, and at the speed at which they are discovering talents, perhaps the next Nevis is on the way.
The player's own wishes are also very important, and after five years of moving to Wolves, it's time for the player to challenge himself to the next place, and a big club like Manchester United may be the best destination. And Manchester United's offer of 40 million pounds for him is also very tempting, and it can be said that their sincerity is very sufficient.
Young and talented, both ends of the attack and defense are eye-catching
As one of the three biggest clubs in Portuguese football, Porto has always been a gathering place for young talented players, and Ruben Neves is one of the young talents that have emerged in recent years, and in the 14/15 season, at the age of 17, he can get an average of 50 minutes per game when he debuts. In the following years, the player was again successful in Standing in Porto.
And his performance made the Wolves, who had just been acquired by Chinese entrepreneur Guo Guangchang at that time, very interested, when the Wolves, who were still in the Championship, proposed to rush into the Premier League and become a club like Manchester City in a few years, the fans were still laughing at them, who knew that after only 2 years they really got their wish and became a strong team in the Premier League.
And I fully doubt that the club's management is not a heavy fan of FM, (in fact, wolves owners have a very good relationship with Mendes) he buys a large number of Portuguese players from other leagues, of which Ruben Neves is one. In his first Championship season, he contributed 6 goals and 1 assist to lead Wolves to the Premier League, and then his performance became better and better, and in those years of the Premier League Manchester City and Liverpool Chelsea competition, Wolves became a famous giant killer, of which Neves was indispensable.
Last season, he was ranked No. 3 in the Premier League interceptor list, higher than Wan Bissaka, Bisuma, Ndidi, and the steal list was also Ranked No. 6, which can be said that he is tougher than he looks. And his long-range shot is his secret weapon.
