Lage is in conflict with Wolves as they pursue Man Utd's midfielder. Liverpool has their sights set on them.

Man Utd visited Ruben Neves last weekend to assess the possibility of a summer approach. A report claims that trouble is brewing between Bruno Lage and Wolves.

Manchester United will be focusing their efforts this summer on the central midfield. Ralf Rangnick will be replaced by Erik ten Hag at the end of the season. The Dutchman believes he's more than capable to get the Red Devils back on the right track.

Ten Hag will be supported in the market, and United's engine room renovation will be a top priority.

Nemanja Matic, in fact, has made his decision to leave. Paul Pogba will be a free agent.

Recent weeks have seen talk of an ambitious raid to secure Kalvin Phillips, the Leeds Utd talisman, as it has grown in popularity. It will be hard to get the Leeds boyhood fan from Elland Road.

Ruben Neves, the Wolves mastermind, seems a much more attractive target. However, his manager has previously suggested that he would be charged a record-fee.

Bruno Lage claimed that his star midfielder would be signed for PS100m. This fee could easily break the British transfer record, currently held by Jack Grealish.

According to the Birmingham Mail, Manchester United has intensified their pursuit of a new player by recruiting Neves on Saturday.

Ruben Neves, 'Growing belief' will be leaving

Wolves lost 3-0 to Brighton with Neves taking over at half-time. His work, which is outstanding in England, was not affected by one poor performance.

Neves would be a great option to go straight into United's starting eleven. The report also suggests that Wolves will not be satisfied with anything less than the quoted price Lage has quoted.

It's been claimed that they will seek a "significant increase" on the amount they received in 2020 when Liverpool signed Diogo Jota.

Reds bought the Portuguese forward for an initial PS41m. With the addition of add-ons, the final figure could rise to PS45m.

It is not known what exact number Wolves will be seeking for Neves. It is known that they won't be able to refuse a substantial offer. Taking all information into account, PS50m-60m might work.

The report says that there is a growing belief that Neves will actually move.
