Manchester United are reportedly plotting a January move for 28-year-old Portuguese international midfielder Ruben Neves.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Manchester United are looking to bring Ruben Neves back to the Premier League from the Saudi Pro League. The 28-year-old was a key player for Wolves during his time in England, and there is no doubt that he has the qualities to play for Manchester United as well.

The Portuguese international has done quite well for Al-Hilal, but the opportunity to return to Europe could be exciting for him. It would be an exciting opportunity, and he would be joining one of the biggest clubs in the world. Even though Manchester United have not been at their best, they are an elite club.

Furthermore, Ruben Neves would be able to play alongside his compatriot Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford. That could be an exciting opportunity. Manchester United also have Diogo Dalot at their disposal. In addition, working with a Portuguese manager as highly rated as Ruben Amorim could be an added incentive.

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can convince the Saudi Pro League club to let the 28-year-old leave. The Red Devils do not need to sell key players for money, and it will be difficult for Manchester United to convince them.

Manchester United could use Neves

It is no surprise that Manchester United want to sign Ruben Neves, as they are in desperate need of quality central midfielders. The Red Devils have struggled to control games over the last twelve months, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch. Signing the Portuguese international could solve a major problem for them.

The 28-year-old is exceptional when it comes to controlling the tempo from the deep. The Al-Hilal midfielder is also lethal from long range with his shots, and he could add a new dimension to the Manchester United attack. His long-range passing will be an asset as well.

Ruben Neves is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. Moving to Manchester United could be perfectly timed for the player. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can get a deal done during the January window.

Manchester United have done well to improve the attacking unit this summer, and improving the midfield in January could prove to be a wise decision as they look to get back into the UEFA Champions League and fight for trophies. However, other midfielders, including Carlos Baleba, are also on Manchester United’s radar
