In recent times, Manchester United have frequently reported scandals with midfielders. Following high-level goals such as Rice, Phillips, De Jong and Milinkovic, powerful players such as Lemmer and Gryrich have also entered Manchester United's gossip list. But earlier, the birmingham Post's reporting targets were clearly more realistic and more worth looking forward to.
United sent a senior scout to molinue stadium last weekend to watch Wolves' game against Brighton, specifically to examine Neves' performance, the media said. Wolves believe this could be Nevis' last season with the team and Manchester United could be his next stop. Laje has said Neves is worth £100 million, but Wolves certainly can't ask for such a transfer fee. However, compared to selling Jota to Liverpool for £45 million in 2020, Wolves' asking price for Neves will increase significantly on this basis.
To be honest, Rice and Phillips are of course more favored, but the probability of these 2 goals joining Manchester United is very low, even close to zero. Rice's value is too high, and West Ham is asking for far more than £100 million. Phillips is slightly less valuable, but due to the old enemy relationship between Manchester United and Leeds United, Phillips and his family are die-hards of the "White Rose", so it is impossible to join Manchester United.
As for De Jong, he is most likely the first choice of Tenhag, but on the one hand, the transfer fee is not low, Barca paid 86 million euros for him that year, and Manchester United's offer is at least close to this number; on the other hand, De Jong did not play a convincing performance in Barca, and his performance in the Premier League actually needs to be questioned.
Neves, on the other hand, has already established himself in the Premier League and has played well. Although it is not up to the level of de Bruyne's top Midfielder in the Premier League, the lower limit is at least guaranteed, and there is still little problem of sitting in the main force at Manchester United. The 25-year-old Neves is an excellent control midfielder with a wide vision, excellent ability to transfer the ball, calm handling of the ball, and a good long-range shooting ability, and more rarely, Neves is also a player with strong mental attributes.
All in all, if it is under 50 million, Neves is definitely a great candidate for Manchester United to strengthen the midfield. But if it exceeds this price, or even £100 million as Lajet said, it's not worth the money.
United's alternative targets have also been revealed, and the senior scout is also examining the performance of Brighton midfielder Bisuma while looking at Neves. Bisuma is physically stronger than Neves, defensively strong and well-rounded. This season, he has started 22 times in 23 league rounds, delivering 3.09 steals, 2.14 interceptions, 1.7 clearances, and 6.4 regaining the ball, the first three statistics are in the same position in the Premier League, and the average of 6.96 points per game is 10th in the same position in the Premier League.
The addition of Bisuma can greatly improve the defensive ability of The United midfield, and his value is much lower than Neves. In addition, Bisuma's contract is about to expire next summer, and brighton has a good chance of selling this summer. In the winter window this year, Villa made an offer of 25 million pounds, but was rejected by the "Seagull Army", so Brighton's psychological price is far more than that.
Manchester United may add more than one new signing in midfield this summer, in fact, there will be no conflict between Neves and Bisuma joining at the same time. One can be used as a metronome in the midfield, the other plays a midfield sweeper, and 2 people have also proved themselves in the Premier League, mainly depending on the price.
