United have been linked with a move for Joao Neves, who is one of the most in-demand young players in Europe. However, the rise of Mainoo may prevent the Red Devils from pursuing a move for the 19-year-old.

WHAT HAPPENED?

With Mainoo's progress in the upcoming season being the utmost priority of the Red Devils, journalist <a href="https://x.com/CMoffiziell/status/1811775571476574340" target="_blank">Christopher Michel</a> reports that the English side could pull out of the race to sign Neves. The club reportedly feels that if Neves arrives at Old Trafford it could hamper the English midfielder's development.

However, PSG made a higher offer worth €70m. The Liga Portugal club continue to demand €100 million for the 19-year-old.
