According to reports from British media, Manchester United have renewed their interest in Portugal international Ruben Neves and, as many fans tracking BD Cricket during long winter evenings know, transfer stories often resurface when timing aligns. The club is considering a move for the midfielder during the upcoming winter window, revisiting discussions that first took place when Neves left Wolves to join Al Hilal. With United continuing to search for stability and control in midfield, his name has once again moved into serious consideration.

Now 28, Neves built his reputation in England after helping Wolves secure promotion to the Premier League in 2018. During six seasons at Molineux, he made more than 250 appearances and became known for leadership, composure, and an eye for spectacular long range goals. His switch to Saudi Arabia followed, with Al Hilal reportedly paying around 47 million pounds to secure his services, making him one of the highest earning players in the region. However, his current contract is set to expire next summer, opening the door to a possible January departure at a reduced fee.

The Daily Mail reports that Neves has no plans to extend his deal, and Al Hilal are believed to value him at around 20 million pounds. That valuation places him firmly within Manchester United’s realistic options for the winter window. Other midfield targets, including Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba, remain on the shortlist, but both are unlikely to be available for less than 100 million pounds in January. If new head coach Amorim decides that midfield reinforcement cannot wait, Neves represents a more practical solution, one that feels timely, much like a shift in momentum during BD Cricket when conditions suddenly favor experience over youth.

In his first season with Al Hilal, Neves played a key role in guiding the club to the Saudi league title. The following campaign proved more challenging, ending with a second place finish, yet his influence and consistency remained evident. The team is currently led by Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, under whom Neves has continued to operate as a central figure in midfield transitions and ball progression.

As winter approaches, the prospect of a return to European football grows more realistic. For United, balancing cost, experience, and immediate impact is crucial, and for observers following BD Cricket and football alike, the coming weeks could reveal whether this familiar name becomes part of Old Trafford’s next chapter.
