João Neves’ signing by the Reds is something that Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has expressed his desire for.

On deadline day, the club acquired 24-year-old Mason Mount from Chelsea, and Sofyan Amrabat initially signed on loan. Even though Ten Hag is rumored to be involved with additional engine room signings, the club’s midfield reinforcements have still failed to make an impact.
It Һаs been suggesteԀ tҺаt Neves cоulԀ be mоving tо M16, аnԀ FernаnԀes Һаs nоw given Һis аssent tо аny sucҺ mоve.

By the end of the 2023–24 season, both Casemiro and Christian Eriksen will be 32 years old. Neves, who is just 19 years old, would be an ideal addition to Ten Hag’s roster if they were to seek to recruit a youthful midfielder again.
