Transfer Talk: Manchester United keeping tabs on Benfica's Ramos

TOP STORY: Benfica’s Ramos on Man Utd’s radar

Manchester United are plotting a move for Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos, according to the Mirror.

Talks are set to take place with the Lisbon club over a deal worth up to £100 million including add-ons, with the Old Trafford hierarchy marking the 21-year-old Portugal international as a prospect for the future.

Ramos is enjoying his best season as a professional with 17 goals in 27 league matches, but it was his display against Switzerland in the World Cup knockout stages last December that saw more clubs across Europe begin to take notice — scoring a hat trick during a match where he was selected over Cristiano Ronaldo.

It is thought that he isn’t on manager Erik ten Hag’s shortlist as an alternative to Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, who is understood to still be the Red Devils’ priority this summer.
