Neves is considered as one of the best young midfielders in world football and he has been tipped to leave Lisbon in the current transfer window.

United recently made a €70m bid to match PSG's proposal, but Neves has reportedly decided to join the French champions, according to Record.

He has been convinced over the transfer by manager Luis Enrique and PSG are now finalising the payment terms for his move to Parc des Princes.

Neves has had a brilliant breakthrough with Benfica. He is superb with the ball at his feet and has also excelled with his distribution and tackling.

The 19-year-old is also gifted a tremendous leap in the air and tends to win regular aerial duels. He has all the traits to become world-class in future.

United have been monitoring his progress for the last six months, but are now likely to miss out on his signature to the Ligue 1 holders.
