The Guardian says a new midfield addition is a priority for United and former Wolves captain Neves features high on their shortlist.
With his contract to expire in June, Neves is ready to return to Europe as early as this month - and is open to a move to Old Trafford.
Indeed, Neves has let it be known he is willing to take a massive cut on his Al Hilal salary to return to the Premier League.
And United are keen, with the departure of former manager Ruben Amorim not altering their plans.
