Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves is 5/1 to join Manchester United this transfer window
Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves is now 5/1 to join Manchester United in the Summer Transfer Window.
Bookmakers make United the third favourite option for Neves' next move, behind both Barcelona and Arsenal in the market.
That gives an implied probability by the bookies of 16.7% that Neves moves to the North-West to join United.
| Ruben Neves to sign for before September 3rd | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Barcelona | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Arsenal | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Man Utd | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Newcastle | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Tottenham | 14/1 | 6.7% |
Arsenal are second favourites for the signing of Ruben Neves and have been linked with getting a central midfielder this window numerous times.
The Gunners have also been linked with Leicester's Youri Tielemans and are 8/11 to sign the Belgian midfielder.
Neves though could well be a back-up option if the deal wasn't to take place between Arsenal and the Foxes.
Neves still heavy favourite to move to Barcelona next, with the midfielder expected to leave Wolves
It's Barcelona who are the favourites to sign Ruben Neves this transfer as the Portuguese midfielder continues to be linked away from Molineux.
At odds of 7/4 to sign Neves, Barcelona have around a 36% chance of signing the player according to bookmakers.
With Frenkie De Jong rumoured to be joining Manchester United this transfer window, it could well be that Neves will be his replacement.
It looks increasingly likely that one transfer will kick off a merry-go-round of midfielders across Europe this Summer.
Erik Ten Hag is expected to make multiple signings in his first transfer window at Manchester United
The Erik Ten Hag revolution is yet to really kick into life with no signings at Old Trafford yet.
The Dutch manager will be looking to change that in the next couple of weeks though and Ruben Neves could well be part of that.
With odds of 5/1 though it may be difficult for the Red Devils to sign the Portuguese midfielder this window.
Man Utd to win at least 1 major trophy (EPL, FA Cup, EFL Cup Europa/Champions League) in 2022/23 is 15/8 with bookmakers so a big first season is likely for Ten Hag's regime.
