Manchester United have a transfer deal for Wolves star Ruben Neves ‘reasonably far down the line’, according to reports.
The Portugal international midfielder has been strongly listed to seal a move to Old Trafford, as Ole Gunnar Solakjaer looks to add more competition to his engine room. 
The club’s owners, the Glazers, seem defined to back Solskjaer with various new additions. It comes off the back of a season where United finished second in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final.
And Europsport’s Dean Jones has verified that a deal for Neves is close. However, talks of a swoop for Saul Niguez is well wide of the mark.
“I just haven’t heard a lot about Saul Niguez personally,” Jones told The Football Terrace podcast.

“So it’s hard for me to assess that one. So I’d say because of the information I’ve had, and it all depends on your sources, I know for a fact that they do like Neves, that they’ve been working on it in the background and it’s reasonably far down the line.
“And if they do want to progress with it they can, because the foundations have been laid.

“I don’t know about Saul Niguez, how much weight there really is behind that so it’s difficult for me to judge.

“There’s enough out there to believe there’s some substance to it. But I’m sceptical because it’s Saul Niguez, this has happened a few times.”
Arsenal have also been looking to bring in Neves as a potential replacement for Roma target Granit Xhaka. However, it would appear that the Red Devils are on the verge of winning this particular transfer race.
