Manchester United are vying for the chance to sign Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenho in January, but midfield remains the area of greatest concern.
Ruben Amorim prefers signing players with Premier League experience, while United have been heavily linked with Carlos Baleba, Adam Walton and Elliott Anderson. However, a deal for any of the three players midway through the season was deemed too costly.

Manchester United are eyeing midfielders Ruben Neves and Connor Gallagher as potential January signings, according to The Guardian.
Former Chelsea genius Gallagher is valued at around 40 million to 50 million euros by Atletico Madrid, who prefer to sell permanently, while Manchester United prefers to loan the Englishman.
Al Hilal willing to sell Ruben Neves for peanuts
The Red Devils also admire Neves, who dominated games with his stunning finishing during five years in England’s top flight before leaving Wolves to join Al Hilal in 2023.
According to reports from Defense Center, Neves will be available at a cheap price during the winter transfer window.

His contract with Al Hilal expires at the end of this season. The star, who has 63 caps for Portugal, reportedly feels he can make a difference in Europe.

As a result, the 28-year-old hopes to leave Saudi Arabia and return to European football “as soon as possible”.
Spanish media claim that the Saudi Professional League is willing to accept an offer of 10 million euros for the Portuguese midfielder.
Manchester United expected to sign Neves
Adding that Neves’ representatives have already begun recommending him to a number of clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid and Manchester United.

However, Real Madrid intend to put their trust in a young midfielder. It has been previously reported that Real Madrid are interested in Kobe Minu, but he has yet to win over Amorim and earn a regular spot in the team.
After being “rejected” by La Liga giants, Neves’ possibility of returning to the Premier League is considered “high”.
At the reported asking price, signing the former Wolves leader should be a no-brainer for United so they can go all out to bring in an attacking reinforcement like Semenho in January.
