But United legend Rio Ferdinand recently insisted those two players are not the answer to the problems at his former club.
When asked if a Neves-Tielemans-Bruno Fernandes midfield trio could be the solution, he said: "That wouldn’t be my choice, I’ve got to be honest.
"I like them, good players, but if you think that midfield is getting you any closer to the other teams I’d argue against it.
"Mobility-wise we’d be lacking."
Both Man Utd and Arsenal were linked with a move for Neves in the January window.
He arrived at Molineux from Porto in 2017 for £15.8million and helped them secure promotion to the Premier League under Nuno Espirito Santo.
His impressive form has seen Wolves slap a £40m price tag on his head.
