Rúben Neves, the Portuguese professional footballer, has passed away on March 15, 2024, at the age of 36. He was born on February 28, 1987, in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal.
Neves began his career with Porto F.C., where he made his debut in 2006 and went on to become one of the club's most important players. He won several titles during his time at Porto, including four league championships, two Copa da Liga titles, and three UEFA Champions League titles.
In 2011, Neves joined Manchester United F.C. for a transfer fee of €20 million. He quickly established himself as a key player for the team, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists in just 51 appearances in all competitions.
Despite his success at Manchester United, Neves struggled with injuries throughout his time there, which limited his playing time and ultimately led to his departure from the club in January 2019.
After leaving Manchester United, Neves played for several other clubs, including Benfica, CSKA Moscow, and Flamengo. In 2020, he signed with Al-Ittihad SC, where he continued to play until his death.
Neves' passing is a great loss to both the football world and the Portuguese people. He was known for his technical skills, leadership, and ability to score goals. His legacy will live on through his contributions to the sport and the memories of those who knew him. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
