Football website 90Min claim super agent Jorge Mendes has offered Wolves winger and long-term Arsenal target Pedro Neto to Manchester United – as Erik ten Hag urges his side to bring in a raft of signings before the deadline.
The report states that ten Hag wants five new additions before the end of the window. He wants a right-back, a defensive midfielder, a central midfielder, a striker and a winger that can play on either flank.
Neto, 22, has impressed since moving to Wolves from Lazio. Joining the club as a teenager in 2019, he has already clocked up 93 appearances – having a hand in 23 goals. He has a contract at Wolves until the summer of 2027.
Reports earlier this month claim the £50million-rated talent is a long-term target for Arsenal. But a move from the Gunners has not come to the table, and now Mendes is said to have offered Neto to Manchester United.
Mendes has offered Wolves winger Neto to Manchester United
Manchester United do have options out wide. Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford look as though they are first choice. But in terms of others with first team experience, the only other options are Anthony Elanga and Anthony Martial.
The latter is more of a striker and has only just come off the back of a loan. Amad Diallo is also at Old Trafford, after a disappointing loan with Rangers. Ten Hag has wanted to bring in Ajax winger Antony for some time, this summer.
Nothing has materialised and a new potential signing could be Neto. While his goals and assists are nothing to write home about, there is enormous potential in the Portuguese talent – and he is clearly keen on a move.
For Mendes to offer him to United, suggests he would be open to joining United. Whether United choose to raid Wolves for the young winger remains to be seen, but he would certainly give United another quality option.
