  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The Premier League side have been looking to sign Neves since the end of the season, however, Benfica's unrealistic asking price of €120 million (£110m/$130m) has put them off and the Portuguese club are unwilling to negotiate on the 19-year-old's price.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Benfica are looking to offer a new contract to Neves this summer. The youngster currently earns a reported wage of around €500,000 per year and the club wants to bump that up to €1 million.

  WHAT NEXT FOR NEVES?

  The valuation of Benfica for Neves compared to that of the Red Devils and Le Parisiens is stark, and may make a potential move difficult for both clubs this summer.
