In the past 18 months, Manchester United have been linked with a number of central midfielders. The Reds spent the last summer chasing Barcelona ace Frenkie de Jong, before the Dutchman ultimately opted to remain with the Catalan side. While United certainly strengthened in that area - with the additions of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen - Erik ten Hag is still open to adding reinforcements.
One player that has been touted as a potential option for United is Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves. The club initially weighed up a transfer for him in January, but the 25-year-old was never the first-choice target. While the Portugal international is under contract at Molineux until 2024, he has frequently hinted at the possibility of a move away.
Neves, who has made 230 appearances for Wolves, was in tears at the end of the club's final home game of last season, and many people suggested that his emotional reaction was a sign that his time with Wolves was coming to an end. However, the midfielder, who joined Wolves in 2017, remained with the club over the summer and has made 18 appearances in all competitions this season.
