How Joao Neves fits into Manchester United’s dream XI with five new signings

Manchester United will already have an eye on the business that will need to be done during the summer transfer window.

The 2023/24 season has largely been a disappointment for United, although there is still a chance to end the campaign with silverware in the form of the FA Cup. In the Premier League, however, the Reds are in eighth place and risk missing out on European qualification altogether.




Erik ten Hag’s future as a manager has been the subject of speculation. Despite the uncertainty, United continue to be linked with several potential new signings.

Benfica midfielder Joao Neves is the latest player to be linked with a move to Old Trafford. Portuguese news outlet Record report that United are preparing to make a move for Neves official this summer, although an offer has yet to be made.

Neves is said to have a €120m (£103m) release clause in his contract with Benfica. However, it is unclear whether United should activate the clause to get a deal over the line or negotiate a lower fee with Benfica.

Should Neves be signed by United, then he could take over the starting 6 midfield role, which is currently held by Casemiro. If a deal gets over the line then it could be the start of the Reds shaping their dream starting line-up for next season.
