In the ever-intensifying race for emerging talent, Manchester United has reportedly set its sights on Benfica's 19-year-old Joao Neves.
The youngster's standout performances for the Portuguese side have not gone unnoticed, with scouts from Liverpool and Arsenal also keeping a close watch.
According to a report from 90 Min, the trio of English clubs had representatives in attendance when the midfield sensation showcased his skills with a goal against Sporting CP over the weekend.
With United seeking midfield reinforcements, Neves emerges as a promising, long-term investment for the Red Devils, addressing their depth concerns in the middle of the park.
While the youngster is highly regarded across Europe, negotiations with The Eagles are anticipated to be challenging, given the Portuguese club's likely demand for a premium fee for their prized prospect.
For the Gunners, the 19-year-old could offer a valuable midfield option, particularly if Thomas Partey departs in the coming months. Liverpool, too, see potential in Neves as they look to bolster their midfield quality, with Jurgen Klopp possibly molding him into a key player for the Reds in the future.
