I would like to play at Old Trafford – Man United receive huge boost in the race to sign £60m ‘assist king’ and Top Wolves winger in the summer
Manchester United have apparently been heartened by the revelation that Wolverhampton Wanderers are willing to trade Pedro Neto for the appropriate price this summer.
This season, the 23-year-old has begun to thrive in the West Midlands after manager Gary O’Neil put his faith in him.
Neto, now known as the ‘assist king’, has ten assists in all competitions and delighted analysts with his quickness.
While Wolves would prefer to keep him, they may have no choice but to sell if they want to offer O’Neil money to spend over the summer.
According to The Sun, O’Neil and co. have accepted that the Portuguese prodigy will leave, and the race is now on to see which team will sign him.
Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Manchester United are all reportedly interested in signing the forward, who is out of contract in 2027.

The 20-year-old centre-back is gaining a reputation in Italy after becoming an important player for the Serie A side.
Scalvini has made 27 appearances this season and already has seven Italian international caps.
The defender has already expressed an interest in joining the Premier League, and this desire could come true this summer.
Atalanta are believed to have set a £34 million price tag on their promising defender, which United are apparently willing to match.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Raphael Varane’s future, the Reds will most certainly look to sign a defender at the end of the season.
