Manchester United have moved ahead of Arsenal in the race to sign Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves, according to reports. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to bolster his midfield ranks this summer and has identified the 24-year-old as a target.
Speaking on The Football Terrace, Eurosport’s Dean Jones has described United’s interest in Neves as ‘genuine.’
He said: “That final position [United will strengthen] will be in midfield. It’s just a case of is it Ruben Neves? Is it a defensive midfielder?
“It’s all going to depend and it would really give us an insight into what Solskjaer’s mentality is going into the season and what type of football we can expect from him.
“Is he sticking with that McTominay and Fred? Or is he going to be more open than that, with a ball-player like Neves that can come in.
“I’m told that the Neves pursuit is genuine. And while Arsenal are the most active in trying to get that over the line, United are still in the conversation.
“Bruno Fernandes is obviously very keen for Neves to join and the club are aware of that.”
