Manchester United Ready to Make Portugal Star with £20 Million Price-Tag Their First Signing Under Michael Carrick in January: Reports

Manchester United targets Al Hilal’s Rúben Neves for around £20 million as interim manager Michael Carrick seeks to strengthen the squad this January.

  • On Jan 13, 2026 Manchester United are lining up a January move for Al Hilal midfielder Rúben Neves, aiming to bring him back to Old Trafford from the Saudi Pro League club.
  • Michael Carrick has been appointed interim manager until the end of the season, and the Old Trafford hierarchy are prepared to provide funds, with Al Hilal reportedly accepting �20 million.
  • Rúben Neves, 28, previously captained Wolves and moved to the Saudi Pro League; he is viewed as a practical short-term solution offering longer-term value for Manchester United.
  • Signing Neves could bolster United's midfield and help Michael Carrick make quick fixes as he faces immediate pressure with the Manchester Derby this Saturday.
  • The club intend to conduct major transfer business at the end of the season because top targets are rarely available in the January transfer window, but Manchester United will consider long-term targets on club shortlist linked with various transfer activities in recent weeks.
