Man Utd reportedly interested in Benfica midfielder

Manchester United are already making plans for the players they could sign in the January transfer window.

A recent report from popular football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed the Red Devils are interested in signing Benfica midfielder João Neves.

The reports revealed that scouts from the Premier League club were in attendance for the recent league clash for Benfica’s 2-1 victory at home against Sporting CP on Sunday, with the Red Devils keeping close tabs on the 19-year-old ahead of a potential January transfer.

The Red Devils are said to be waiting for potential board changes, and that could take place soon, with ESPN sources revealing recently that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s partnership could be announced over the current international break.

Neves has been a key player for Benfica this season, with an impressive form that also saw him earn his senior international debut for Portugal last month when coming on as a substitute in the 5-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
