      Bissouma would fit better as our CDM. He’d allow Bruno and Pogba/DVB freedom. Or if we sell Pogba Neves/DVB/Saul could play alongside Bruno perfectly in a 4-3-3. Bissouma as a ball playing, dribbling, hold up play CDM would have great effect in team overall.

      The problem with pogba and fernandes is that they are both unbelievable if played in the right position, but it’s very hard for united to fit them both in the right position, it’s either pogba in a 433 where he has more space or a 4231 where Bruno is the focus of play. What i was thinking is maybe if neves could play that holding position in a 433 and whilst on the attack Bruno switches to that focus of play position making runs in and around the box, pogba then plays that edge of the box scholes type of play where he can create goals and score goals seeming that he has a good shot from outside the box. Neves would hold the midfield whilst the team attack where if the ball falls back to him he could switch the play from the centre of the midfield and whilst on the counter make them quick balls he is good at. Then whilst the other team counter we could change to a 4231 maybe or just regroup back to position into a holding 433.

      Neves can transform the dynamic of United's tactical system. The flow of defense, midfield n attacking areas would be coordinated. Finally, United can play with the rhythm that Spanish teams play.

      Reasons why Neves will be a good recruitment for United :

      1. He is a deep playmaker defensive midfielder
      2. He has a very good passing range. he did it a lot in wolves, especially his long through pass
      3. He has a good space reading skill, he know when to hold a pass or quick release the ball
      4. He can shoot from a long range. Most of his goal come from this
      5. Even bruno fernandes recommend him to ole. I think bruno and neves are similiar but bruno play higher and neves play deeper
      6. His playstyle reminds me of Michael Carrick, with most creating chances and tackles in a match, even player with most touches in some of Wolves's games
      7. He has 3 years experience in Premier league
      8. He will have 3 portuguese teammates if he join United: Bruno, Dalot, and Ronaldo
      9. His price is not too expensive (around 30-35) compared to the other overrated player like Ben White
      10. He is still 24 yo

      Ruben Neves isn't going to break down teams that sit deep and defend against you. And hes never going to dribble past a player.

      He will switch play and transition from back to front with pinpoint accuracy for fun game in game out. He can ping a ball across field with his first touch. He's defensively solid.

      He can't hit a free kick. And his long range shooting seems to have disappeared.

      He'd suit any team that look to go from defence to attack as quick as possible

      What software do the guys use to show how the players move on the pitch and how they would fit into various different formations and tactics

      Getting here after his match against man utd and he was so great
      But the problem that he is not a no.6 player, so he is not the ideal transfer for man utd

    26. aung Kyaw thu on

      Ole wants Declan rice coz he wants to build united with england players rice is good but i want neves his price is fair and we need a good dmf. Also remember he is a portugal player so his spirit And mental health is already so strong.i want him to play for united

      Neves went from champs league and Porto captain to wolves in championship. He did it for the Portuguese clique whatever. But if a massive club like Liverpool or whoever comes for him and he wants to go, wolves owe it to him to not stand a step in his way. Full stop. But man u is not a big club and is more wolves's rival..

    37. N Meekings on

      Surely it would be easier for the United board to travel to Wolverhampton & sign somebody that would want to play for the club then to fly to Spain to try & brute force somebody away from Barcelona who wants to stay there?
