In this sense, the Dutchman would have already urged the INEOS’ board to raise money in the market to reinvest in this player, whose release clause would have been set at 120 million by his club regarding the interest he has attracted from the big European clubs in the last few hours.

However, according to the site Teamtalk, the player would have gotten the Manchester United fans excited in the last few hours by revealing that he’d prefer joining United ahead of Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, where he would be willing to join United despite he can’t promise that he’ll join the club.

Who’s the player Erik Ten Hag wants?

The player in question is the 19-year-old Portuguese playmaker Joao Neves from Benfica, who has made 36 appearances in the Portuguese league until the moment and has been labeled as the new Cristiano Ronaldo in the tournament, as he is considered the potential new leader of the Portugal next great football generation.
