British media reports have revealed a new move by Manchester United aimed at securing a major deal during the current winter transfer window to strengthen the team's squad.

Football Insider confirmed on the X platform that the English club has identified Portuguese player Ruben Neves, midfielder for Al Hilal Saudi Club, as one of its top targets to strengthen the midfield.

Manchester United's interest in Neves comes as part of a strategic plan aimed at strengthening the team with players who combine quality and experience, especially given the midfield's need for stability in the second half of the season.

The report indicated that Al Hilal's management does not seem enthusiastic about the idea of letting Neves go, as they value his transfer at around 20 million pounds despite his contract nearing its end.

Roberto Neves' contract with Al Hilal ends next June, giving him the right to sign with any club for free if no agreement is reached regarding renewal.

This situation puts Manchester United faced with two decisive options: either to act quickly and finalize the deal in the winter transfer window for a sum of money, or to wait until the end of the season.

Neves is considered one of the top midfielders, thanks to his extensive experience in the English Premier League, making him an ideal choice for United as they seek to restore technical balance.
