The deep-lying midfielder added the flair and finesse to Nuno Espirito Santo’s entertaining outfit.

And former Wolves midfielder O’Hara believes the Portugal international would be a good fit at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are in the market for attacking talent and are in deep negotiations with Juventus for Paulo Dybala.

However, O’Hara thinks Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should have made a move for Neves, although they may have left it too late to raid a Premier League rival as the transfer window slams shut on August 8.

“I don’t think they [Wolves] are going to let anyone go at this late stage, I would be surprised,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.

“But Neves is a fantastic player, I am surprised Man United, who are after midfielders are not in for someone like him.

“He showed last season he is a top four football player.”

United still have to decide on the future of midfielder Paul Pogba, who was pushing for a move to Real Madrid.

And O’Hara thinks if the Frenchman is not settled come the start of the campaign it could affect their end result.

“Chelsea,” O’Hara said when asked who would finish fourth this season.

“Arsenal are nowhere near it.

“And the problem Man United have got is they’ve still got this whole saga going on with [Paul] Pogba and with the football club about who is going and who is staying. That can really affect a pre-season.

“They need to get it done and get down to business.”
