MU is preparing to strengthen its squad in the summer transfer window, including plans to recruit star midfielder Joao Neves worth 120 million Euros.Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed MU’s interest in Benfica midfielder Joao Neves, whose contract release clause is 120 million Euros (103 million pounds).

Following the purchase of twenty-five percent of Manchester United club shares, the billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe intends to sell ten players as part of a significant overhaul at Old Trafford this summer.

United Peoples TV on X: "🇵🇹 18 year old #MUFC target Joao Neves' per 90  stats (vs Midfielders) last season… • 2.21 Blocks (99th Percentile) • 3.83  Tackles (98th Percentile) • 1.91

Before entering into a contract with a new player, the British billionaire is looking to significantly cut the size of the organization’s roster.

During the summer transfer window of 2024, Manchester United is rumored to be interested in acquiring both a defensive midfielder and a central midfielder.

Additionally, according to trade expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United is keeping an eye on Benfica midfielder Joao Neves. Man City, who is located nearby, is also having an interest in this promising young player.

Joao Neves is highly regarded, despite the fact that he is only 19 years old. He is exceptional in his way of passing the ball and maintaining possession of it in confined situations.

The perspective of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a millionaire, about the reconstruction plan at Manchester United is that the priority should be placed on young players who are of high quality, rather than spending money on agreements with stars who are located nearby who are on the other side. For instance, the Red Devils invested a significant amount of money in Casemiro.
