This is the second offer United have had rebuffed, following an opening bid of £51m last month.
Speaking about his future earlier this year, Neves said: "Ahead of next season, wherever I may be, I will always give my all. My plan for the moment is to stay at Benfica but you never know, so I can't promise anything." Neves is currently away on international duty with Portugal at the Euros. The midfielder has made two appearances under Roberto Martinez so far, with Portugal set to face France in the quarter-finals on Friday.
