Manchester United are on the verge of confirming Michael Carrick as their interim manager today, and the big question remains: has the club finally pulled the trigger on a bid for Ruben Neves? While the Portuguese maestro is officially on the shortlist with a tempting £20 million price tag, we explore whether INEOS has submitted a formal offer to Al-Hilal or if they are waiting for Carrick to give the final green light. With the squad returning to training tomorrow ahead of the Manchester Derby, the need for midfield reinforcements is urgent, and Neves’ expiring contract makes him the most "viable" January target to provide the control United have lacked all season.

But is Ruben Neves actually the right fit?? At 28, he brings a level of Premier League pedigree and technical security that could finally unlock the best in Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo? We take a deep dive into the tactical side of this move—analyzing if Neves has kept his edge in Saudi Arabia and whether his elite passing range makes him the "no-brainer" signing fans have been begging for since the Wolves days.
