But his talent comes with a big price tag and Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly approved a £105million bid for the defensive midfielder.

The Mirror claim Neves will be one of United’s main transfer targets this summer after receiving the green light from Ratcliffe.

But fans are concerned Neves may not be the most suitable option given his lack of Premier League experience.

Neves, 19, has just 66 professional appearancs to his name for club and country having only broken into the Benfica first-team last season.

United supporters have made their concerns known after reports linked the Red Devils to the Portugal international.

One fan reacted saying: “£100m for an unproven talent in the prem? When will we learn.”

Another added: “If this happens then nothing will have changed.”

A third wrote: “Hope we’re not on the verge of ruining another talent.”

And a fourth commented: “Why not invest in 2-3 solid midfielders rather than pay a ridiculous amount for one. Have Man Utd and Ineos learnt nothing?”

Another added: “I thought we were done with over spending?”
