Manchester United may have been handed their chance to push for Ruben Neves after the Wolves midfielder seemed to suggest he would leave Molineux this summer.
United have been linked with the Portuguese ace previously as Erik ten Hag looks to reinforce his midfield options. The Dutchman is keen on signing a ball-playing No.8, with previous interest in Frenkie de Jong highlighting the profile wanted at Old Trafford.
While reported interest in Neves has never been concrete, the Wolves star has been viewed as a strong option by United fans, providing Premier League experience and the versatility to play across all midfield roles including that of Casemiro, for which cover is needed.
