Breaking News: Joao Neves, a midfielder for Benfica, seems to be coming under increasing pressure from Manchester United

According to the Portuguese publication Record (today’s edition), Manchester United is beginning to tighten their hold on Benfica midfielder Joao Neves. Benfica is currently playing for Manchester United.

When it comes to the defensive midfield position, the Red Devils currently have Casemiro, Sofyan Amrabat, and Scott McTominay as their senior alternatives.

During the course of this season, all three of them have displayed a lack of consistency, which may prompt the club to make a significant investment in a new player at the conclusion of the season.

United has been keeping a close eye on Neves for some time now, and according to Record, they are beginning to tighten their hold on the Portuguese player.

Manchester City is another club that has a strong interest in the wonderkid, who is currently 19 years old and has a release clause in his Benfica contract that is worth 120 million euros.

If United were to sign Neves, it would be a statement signing.
Despite the fact that the young player did not make his debut for Benfica until the previous season, he has already established himself as one of the most sought-after young players in the world of football.

Neves has maintained an exceptional level of performance throughout this season, as seen by his passing accuracy of 91% in the Portuguese top-flight. There have been two tackles and 6.7 duels won by him in each game.
