Manchester United enter race for Al Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves

Ruben Neves is reportedly keen on a return to the Premier League, with Manchester United leading the chase for the Portuguese international’s signature in January.

Reports suggest that Manchester United have been put on high alert following news that former Wolves captain Neves wants to leave Saudi Arabia.

Ruben Amorim is said to be an admirer of his compatriot’s tactical discipline and passing range, viewing him as an ideal candidate to stabilize the United midfield.

Neves has spent the last two years with Al Hilal, but sources close to the player indicate he is eager to test himself in England once again.

United may face competition from other top-six rivals, but their need for midfield reinforcements makes them the current frontrunners.
