The 25-year-old Portugal midfielder has been linked with a move to Old Trafford on numerous occasions.
Wolves' Ruben Neves has been linked with a move to Manchester United.
Wolves are in talks with Ruben Neves over his future, despite Manchester United's interest.
Club officials are "talking" to Neves, according to technical director Scott Sellars, who also recognizes the interest he is attracting from other parts of Europe. United supporters want their team to sign a central midfielder this summer, as many have been disappointed by the overall performance of Fred and Scott McTominay this season.
Paul Pogba's contract expires in the summer, and United are prepared for his departure. Neves has been mentioned as a possible alternative, with reports claiming Wolves will demand at least £50 million for the 25-year-old.
With United battling for a top-four berth, demand is rising for a squad makeover, leading to increased transfer rumors. Sellars has now confirmed that Wolves are in "open dialogue" with Neves, admitting that the Portugal international has piqued his curiosity.
"We're obviously talking to him," he told the Express and Star. "We all know how much he loves playing for the club." "We know how well he's settled in, but he's also a driven young man."
"You attempt to have an open communication with them and their agents, as you do with all players, to arrive to the best scenario for the club and the player." "Rightfully so, Ruben will be on the radar of premier clubs all across Europe," he continued, "but we have an excellent connection with him and will do things properly and jointly when the time comes."
"Ruben is having a wonderful season, and everyone should congratulate him on how well he is performing." "Since he's been here, Ruben has been entirely engaged to the project," Sellars said, attempting to dispel the notion that Neves has been distracted by speculation about his future.
"He came to the Championship as a young child from Porto, where he had been playing in the Champions League. He has been completely dedicated since the beginning." Since joining the club in 2017, Neves has made 207 appearances, scoring 24 goals and assisting on 12 occasions.
