Benfica midfielder Joao Neves has refused to rule out a summer exit, with Manchester United keeping an eye on the situation.

United have been linked with a move for the highly-rated 19-year-old midfielder since last summer.

Reports have suggested that the youngster would not leave Benfica this summer, but the midfielder himself has now hinted at a summer switch.

The Portugal international told Sport TV: “My desire at the moment is to finish the season in the best possible way, both individually and collectively.

“My desire at the moment is to stay at Benfica. Then you never know, I can’t promise anything.”

Neves has a release clause in his Benfica contract that stands at €120million.
