Neves among options if Man Utd miss out on De Jong

Manchester United are considering alternatives to Frenkie de Jong as Erik ten Hag looks to resolve his search for midfield reinforcements ahead of the new Premier League season.

United have a long-standing interest in Ruben Neves, who has made 212 appearances for Wolves, scoring 24 times.

Speaking in April, Wolves boss Bruno Lage says the club have slapped a £100m price tag on Neves amid rumoured interest from United, Arsenal and Tottenham.

"What I know is we have a special player here with us," Lage said.

"What he is doing this season is very good. I think also the way we play, he can show a better Ruben, and also the way he plays puts our team on a different level.
