Starting to stagnate on Frenkie De Jong, MU directs aim at the Wolves midfielder

However, Wolves sold expensively to release Neves.

MANCHESTER -- Manchester United (MU) is preparing alternative options, if it fails to get Frenkie de Jong. Erik ten Hag is looking to strengthen his midfield ahead of the new Premier League season.


De Jong is a priority target for Manchester United in the transfer market this summer. But the Barcelona player is reluctant to anchor to Old Trafford and prefers to stay at Camp Nou. Quoted from Sky Sports , Wednesday (3/8/2022), United made Ruben Neves an alternative option. Neves is a mainstay for Wolves and has made 212 appearances, scoring 24 goals.


However, Wolves sold expensively to release Neves. in fact, when last April the 25-year-old was attracted by Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham, Wolves manager Bruno Lage boasted that the Portugal international should be priced at £100 million.

"What I do know is that we have special players with us here. What he's done this season is really good. I also think, from the way we play, he can show a better Ruben and also the way he plays puts the team on a different level," Lage said.

Neves has indeed been linked with United in recent months. But the club spent a lot of time and effort chasing De Jong's signature. Neves has been at Molineux for five years since being bought from Porto in 2017.
