Manchester United have expressed interest in Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves.

TalkSPORT says United are keen on securing a deal for Neves, who has thrived in the midlands since joining from Porto back in 2017.

Arsenal retain an interest in the 24-year-old but United are now ahead of the Gunners in pursuit of the central midfielder.

Neves is represented by Jorge Mendes and has been in talks with Arsenal over a move in recent weeks.

He has been earmarked as a possible partner for Thomas Partey if Granit Xhaka departs this summer.

Neves has two years remaining on his contract and would cost in the region of £35million for his suitors.
