Manchester United is reportedly stepping up their efforts to pursue Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos as they look to bolster their attacking options in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Ramos, highly regarded as a promising talent, has captured the attention of the Red Devils as they seek to revitalize their team.

Impressive displays have earned him a place in Portugal’s 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Making his senior international debut in a friendly against Nigeria on 17 November, Ramos immediately made an impact by scoring the third goal and providing an assist in a convincing 4-0 victory. He continued to shine throughout the tournament, even starting ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal’s round of 16 game against Switzerland. Ramos showcased his prowess by netting a hat-trick and contributing an assist in a resounding 6-1 triumph, becoming the first player since 1990 to achieve a World Cup knockout stage hat-trick.

Known for his versatility, Ramos excels in various attacking positions, including as a striker and second striker. He often drops deeper to actively participate in building attacking plays, involving his teammates and creating opportunities for others.

The Mirror reports that Manchester United views Ramos as a more realistic target compared to high-profile names like Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen, as securing the latter two from their respective clubs, Tottenham and Napoli, is expected to pose significant challenges.
