Even as He sees Manchester United failing,He still wants to join them despite convincing him to join Manchester City so he can win trophies- Al-Nassr FC Star Christiano Ronaldo has confirmed His £103m international teammate have agreed to join Manchester United.
Under the new leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Manchester United’s summer transfer plans are set to unfold following Ineos Group and Ratcliffe’s finalization of a 25% buyout and assumption of football operations management at Old Trafford earlier this year. Although no new signings occurred in January, reports suggest potential additions to Erik ten Hag’s squad, with a focus on acquiring a midfielder and a striker.
One touted prospect is Joao Neves, a midfielder from Benfica, with Manchester United showing interest. However, competition for Neves includes Manchester City and other undisclosed Premier League teams. Fabrizio Romano indicates that Neves has a release clause exceeding £100 million, and Benfica would only consider his departure if the clause is activated. Benfica officially denied any preference for Manchester United or negotiations regarding Neves.
In addition to Neves, Joshua Zirkzee, a striker from Bologna, is reportedly under close examination by Manchester United. The Reds are said to be collecting scouting reports in anticipation of a summer transfer move. Zirkzee, who signed with Bologna in 2022 from Bayern Munich, has attracted interest from Arsenal as well. Bayern Munich holds a buy-back provision in Zirkzee’s contract worth €40 million (£34 million) if another club decides to make an offer.
