João Neves's OOP ability is underestimated, he is incredibly solid defensively and very strong, even better phisically than Mainoo from what i've been seeing since his debut for benfica last season. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with having Neves AND Mainoo in the same midfield as they can keep switching roles from 6 to 8 without sacrificing quality in those positions because both can pretty much do the same thing to a higher level.
@@LongC0cky Yeah he's an elite dribbler too which is odd to me considering his primary position haha, just shows how versatile and all-rounded he can be. I like players who can cover a variety of positions when needed (injury occurrences)
It's exactly what United need but i can guarantee you Ten Hag doesn't even know who Neves is...this are the types of players Man City get early and develop for the long term...
@@cheesedoodle9650I have seen all of united's games this season, so all of Mainoo's minutes. He is the one that goes forward on the double pivot and that suits him better than being the 6. He can definitely do both well though.
As soon as Joao Neves arrives at the premier everyone else that were watching him will say out loud "uhm i guess he was very cheap". This kid is a small titan and will bring a lot of energy and pation to the rest of the team and the stadium. But keep underestimating him i would love to keep him for a lot longer at Benfica :)
What you talking about. You can compare players stylistically at any point 🤣🤣 this is just some weird Twitter opinion people regurgitate with out thinking it through.
Seedorf 😅?? C'mon, Seedorf was a highly technical powerhouse.. Yaya Toure and Spurs Dembele was the closest to him. But maybe with time as he becomes bigger and mature he might just reach those heights.
@@raph8240 at City under Pep he would be made into an absolute beast and that's why Man City have been sniffing around,, Pep already has a clear picture
I disagree bro as much I understand where your coming and agree with a lot of your points a lot of the time especially on ETH yes Neves is pricey however I think your highly underrating Neves’ physical attributes being português watching Benfica at times he genuinely surprises me with his physical attributes I believe having both Kobie and Neves would be great for our future and they can not only both play as a single pivot but play alongside eachother especially in big games giving us quality in possession and defensive reassurance without it
I feel like we can strike a double deal with Benfica for around £140-160M maximum for both Antonio Silva and Neves which in my opinion resolves a lot of problems making us younger having a deeper squad with a great young spine
Mainoo has the ability to become the next Gullit so long as he stays focused and humble. Neves could become the next Kaka (the AC Milan Kaka) when he played the box to box role and also having a goal scoring threat. He becoming the next Kaka would require him playing along side someone like Mainoo allowing the youth to create telekenetic chemistry and having less need to focus on defensive work meaning he would only need to drop to the top line of the middle 3rd of the pitch when not in possession
Hello Guys I'm Benfica supporter and J. Neves (8) and Florentino (6) been the only midfield players on almost all. games this season our Coach exagerate and sacrifice them both on those positions making their effort the double that should be. Neves has more than 4200min of game always with same Top performances which is not normal for his age. He is a Pure 8 but can handle well play has a 6 or a 10. Has 3 goals 2 assists doing all matches has a 6 he has a great shot.
There's no doubt that mainoo has potential but it's still too early to analyse him. I'd say give him half a season of performances for someone his age and in his position. Also, promote maxi oyedele and play him as a 6, mainoo as an 8 and mejbri as a 10. That's a future man united mdfield.
Oyedele also good. But hes the same as mainoo and like the video said, theres no logic olaying mainoo at 8. Probly should try gore at 8 but from eye witness, gore lack that confident to come deep and bring to ball foward. Other wise isaak arron have the confidence to come deep, take on ppl and carry the ball foward but hes just too clumsy, to eager and same with bruno act first think later. As for mejbri i think in my opinoion its just unlivky for him that weve got bruno because both are same type. Bruno doesnt get injured and we really need him. Nonetheless, all academy players mention above are very good and no doubt will be EPL standards.
i think tenhag loves him he is starting him these days like you said, but some one like amrabat needs to support him as no 8 b/c scott is not contributing as 8.
Really2 spot on 👏 just in my opinion defensively hes not that good positioning wise and in my opinion he cant be world class at in not the likes of busquets or rodri but if the managers are consistent, the club take care of him good and he take care of himself very good hes going to be on of the best single pivot in the future. For now he needs another partner who can comes deep with him and bring the ball foward.
I need to watch Neves more to understand his playing style, but from what I've seen I feel like he lacks the composure on the ball I love to see in a CDM.
Benfica fan but João Neves physically is a freak he jumps higher than guys twice his size he so strong too like u said João is deffo better but I think Man U should keep kobie Maino
I wouldn’t play Kobbie as the only team holding midfielder in prem is dangerous that’s not a big team does they bring in a cdm and play mainoo next to him
The fact the world let Bayern attain Zaragoza (the next CR7) for €15m. United should have sold Antony and picked him up to play wing while giving Pellistri more game time
@@AtlantisFootball But Neves is too...also who do u think faster between them and how Manu can use Neves if they buy him? Pls make videos on Xavi Simons,Amadou Onana, Sebastian Nanasi and Christos Zeferis. Thanks for ur reply mate...👍
@@AtlantisFootballI agree with you but don’t underestimate Neves in the air he can win headers I just think we should have both in our squad and look to bring in Onana for physical presence in certain games
Mainoo is NOT quick across the ground - he has average acceleration. He just has good anticipation to cover for but he is definitely not as quick as seedorf. Good video though
😂 my first two minutes watching Joao Neves's highlights I'm like there's a lot he could learn from Kobbie Mainoo There are situations where he goes down way often that Kobbie wouldn't even think about going down
I think you should analyse garnacho and Antony Their improvement this season Where they need to improve Their potential The benefit of having them The Diss advantage of having them
I still don't see that.from a starting point,joao neves looks like a better play coz he,s more complete physically and covers so much more ground.he,s also showcased an eye for goal and the incisive passing to play further forward and his long passing at his age is exceptional l.its difficult to compare to kobee as he,s played only two full games this season
True. But lets bare in mind, neves is playing at portugese league. From eye witness in games, he still not up that par for now that is, to be playing at EPL. Mainoo knows the league, hes natural phsycal speaks for it self. If hes playing consistently this season next season his gonna more than ready
Nope. Neves has more potential me thinks. He can be made into more than just a pivot player. He has potential to arrive in final third and get some goals. He will be better in a few years time because nainoo will get his career ruined as all united players do.
Seedorf was way more than just "raw athleticism and power". Completely disrespectful. Disgusting even. Even after all this time you're still setting such narratives
Lmao get a grip. It’s not disrespectful at all. What a ridiculous comment. It’s disgusting you even comment this. Must be new to football so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
@@AtlantisFootballI disagree I feel like we can strike a double deal with Benfica for around £160M maximum for both Antonio Silva and Neves I genuinely think we need to reconnect with our old way bringing in players from the Portuguese league as well young up and coming talent around the world players like Roony at Copenhagen Wirtz in Leverkusen etc
Need to play both together next season.

Man is killing it at the moment. Man just helped us pick up a point at anfield of all places.
hello @gershomtan I'm from the future and I'm here to tell you he did it again
I think with Neves as an 8 and Kobbie as a 6 could be the future of united's midfield.
Other way round yes I agree we would need a bigger physical midfielder e.g Onana just to have as on option in certain games if needed
Neves better as 6, thats where he usually plays

But maybe with time as he becomes bigger and mature he might just reach those heights.

Need Amadou Onana or Forfana to partner long term
Exactly bro
Imagine a trio of onana as deepest, Mainoo/ joao neves and Bruno as the attacking midfielder ⭐️
Fofana❤ the guy is beast
Which onana are you talking about? Because onana is not good at all and I don't even know the position that he can play best

Great analysis bro but he still need support from other midfielders wc they are not doing at moment

Did you watch Gullit? Because there is absolutely no comparison between Mainoo and Gullit
neves and kaka? what he hell LMAO
Not sure Mainoo has the pace or engine to play a deep single pivot. I’d like to see him sat alongside neves with the licence to burst forward.
We need both of them in that middle
What do you think about Mainoo and Joao neves playing in a double pivot together

Mainoo and Neves together would be special
neves is literally one of the best defensive players as well
