According to UEFA statistics, Neves is the midfielder who has traveled more distance than Rice. Therefore, if these two players are successfully combined, Arsenal will have a midfield duo worth watching next season. 

As for Man Utd, they will also try to get a new signature in the midfield area when Casemiro will almost leave Old Trafford after a series of disappointing performances.
