Manchester United have reportedly sent a scout to assess the qualities of Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves.
The Premier League giants, who have recently appointed Erik ten Hag as their new manager from next season, will make a wide range of signings during the summer transfer window.
With at least one new central midfielder on their shortlist, Neves has been frequently linked with a potential switch to Old Trafford.
According to BirminghamLive, United had a representative present for Wolves' Premier League fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon.
Neves was deemed unlikely to start after a recent knee injury, but the Portugal international played the opening 45 minutes before being withdrawn in a pre-planned substitution.
Given the half-time change and Wolves succumbing to a 3-0 defeat against the Seagulls, the scout in question would not have been able to learn much about the in-demand 25-year-old, who is also said to be attracting interest from Barcelona.
