It is an open secret that Manchester United need to sign a striker.
The latest update from England suggests that Manchester United will look to sign Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos.
The 21-year-old has four years left on his current contract which expires in 2026.
The striker has featured in 12 matches this term, netting 8 goals and providing 6 assists in all competitions.
He has long been touted as one of Portugal’s most promising young talents. Ramos has represented Portugal at Under-17, Under-18, Under-19, Under-20 and Under-21 level, winning 46 caps and scoring 24 goals.
His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Manchester United.
The Red Devils are looking to sign a striker and have identified the 21-year-old as potential transfer target.
Erik ten Hag has always been a manager who keeps his eyes on the most talented young players across the globe. He is a firm fan of Benfica striker and United could make a move for the player if the financial aspect makes sense.
Manchester United will have funds to spend in the market and it will be interesting to see how they approach the winter transfer window.
The 21-year-old man provides a unique blend between a classic center-forward and the modern striker. His finishing abilities when in and around the box will come as a massive asset to Ten Hag’s side.
According to the report, “Manchester United are eyeing a January move for Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos. The Portuguese has previously been linked with clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle. Now Jornal de Noticias states Manchester United are showing interest in the 21-year-old. The English giants may try to sign Ramos already in the January window.”
