Man Utd believe they can seal a move for former Premier League midfielder Ruben Neves, as per latest transfer news.
United Step Up Ruben Neves Chase
The noise around Old Trafford is growing louder as Man United look at midfield options. As per reports, the club are keeping tabs on Ruben Neves.
The former **Wolves**‘ star is now with Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. He made his name in England with Wolves, showing calm play, clean passing, and long shots. Those traits still matter for a United side that struggles to control tight games.
The belief inside the Red Devils’ camp is that Neves can bring balance into the side. He can slow the tempo when needed, and guide younger players through tough moments.
💣🚨🚨NEW: Rúben Neves is the subject of a direct request from Rúben Amorim to Manchester United.
If no agreement is reached in January, United are confident they can sign him as a free agent in the summer.

Amorim Pushes Hard As Man Utd Plan For Mid Season Shift
Another key point is the role of Ruben Amorim in this transfer chase. Reports suggests that he has personally asked Man Utd to act and bring Neves back to the Premier League. With Casemiro slowing down and Mainoo open to a loan move, the need for new options feels urgent.
In addition, Neves knows the league, handles pressure well, and reads danger early. That makes him a safer bet than a risky short term fix. With that, Amorim’s side feel this deal could be the key difference in the second half of the season.
However, financial terms may still shape the final call, but United feel the timing suits both sides. Al Hilal signed the Portuguese star for ambition, but a return to England appeals to the player.
For Man Utd fans, the idea of bringing in Neves brings hope of control in midfield and fewer chaotic games. The next steps will show whether the PL club takes more efforts to make the deal.
Author’s opinion:
Neves fits what Man United lack right now. If they move early, this signing could steady their season.
