Manchester United are preparing a surprise move for Wolves attacker Pedro Neto.

The Sun says United are eyeing a £50million-plus summer move for Neto.

United have made signing a right winger one of their top priorities and Neto's impressive season, despite Wolves' struggles, has moved him up the shortlist of Old Trafford chiefs.

United could have signed Neto, 21, for next to nothing back in 2016 when the he came to Carrington on trial from Portuguese side Braga - but he did not do enough to convince them to buy him then.

But now United are understood to regard the Portugal international - Wolves' £16m signing from Italian club Lazio - as a genuine alternative to long-term targets like Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish.

Rivals Manchester City have also been linked with Neto, but sources insist they are now ahead of United in the queue for Villa captain Grealish instead.
