Manchester United are interested in Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves but having been linked last summer, should Liverpool rival them?

Mourinho is an admirer of his fellow Portuguese, who has greatly impressed in the Championship this season, while Herrera has been linked with Atletico Madrid despite only recently signing a new contract.

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.

Yet should their Merseyside rivals rekindle their own interest in Neves; especially considering manager Jurgen Klopp appears to be in the market for recruitment in central midfield this summer?
West Ham United’s Manuel Lanzini is one of the latest to be linked, according to the Evening Standard, but considering the age and potential of the Portugal international should the youngster not be considered at least?
