#3 Defensive Midfielder - Ruben Neves (Wolves)
Estimated Price - £40m
Manchester United have the 6th lowest tackles and the 3rd lowest interceptions in the league this season. There are no United players among the top ten midfielders with the most interceptions in Premier League so far; the only United player in the top 20 in that list is Ander Herrera, who is at 17th with 21 interceptions.
Nemanja Matic, who is supposed to be the steel in the midfield, has registered just 15 interceptions this season! Herrera also has the most tackles in the United team - 24, but it is not enough to be even among the top 20 among the midfielders in the Premier League. Nemanja Matic has 21 tackles and his loss of form has cost United dearly. As such, it is time that United look at a replacement for the Serbian, someone who has the energy and the aggression that could help United win the midfield battle.
Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves would be an ideal fit at Old Trafford. He has 35 tackles, with a 51% tackle success rate and 29 interceptions this season in the Premier League. He has already scored 2 goals from 15 games and averages 57 passes per game. He is just 21 years old and as such will suit United's requirements. If he does come to Old Trafford, he will provide the Red Devils with much-needed energy in the middle.
