Jose Mourinho wants to sign Ruben Neves from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer with Ander Herrera expected to leave Manchester United, according to El Gol Digital.

There was great surprise when Wolves secured Neves from Porto in 2017 for £15.8m (BBC) – a record transfer fee for the second tier of English football – considering the 20-year-old had been linked with Premier League giants Chelsea and Liverpool by the Sun just weeks earlier.

The midfielder has helped Nuno Espirito Santo’s men to first in the division and likely promotion to the top flight with a string of impressive performances and it seems that has not gone unnoticed by the Red Devils.
