New Manchester United owner Jim Ratcliffe is looking to usher in a new era at the club.

The Red Devils have struggled to emerge from the dark ages since the retirement of former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. While Eric ten Haag seemed to revitalize the club last season, breaking a trophy drought, the Red Devils have struggled this season. Ratcliffe, who recently took over ownership and management of the club, said: “We are determined to return the club to the top of the world. The work to achieve that goal will accelerate in the coming days,” he said, signaling his intention to reform.

The targets are set. Benfica’s young ace, Joao Neves.

With his excellent breakaway and passing ability, Neves is one of the young midfielders that all of Europe is eyeing. Debuting in 2023, Neves showed promise in 20 games in his first year and has been an ace this season.

But the future is unknown. I can’t guarantee that I will stay next season,” he said, leaving the door open for a move. Man United are not the only clubs interested in Neves, but also Man City.
