  • Man Utd in the hunt for a striker
  • Cooled down interest in Harry Kane
  • Have set sights on Ramos

WHAT HAPPENED? After dropping their interest in signing Tottenham's Kane due to his high price tag, the Red Devils have rekindled their efforts to sign the Portuguese striker. According to the Mirror, Benfica are willing to negotiate for Ramos who was in incredible form in the 2022-23 season, scoring 25 goals for club and country.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: After selling Darwin Nunez to Liverpool in the previous summer for a transfer fee of £85m, including add-ons, Benfica are looking to strike a deal in a similar region which would be for around £80m plus performance-based incentives. Ramos' agent Jorge Mendes has already received a go-ahead from the club and will lead the negotiations with the Premier League outfit.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Erik ten Hag remains keen to reinforce his team's striking department in the summer as barring Marcus Rashford, none of the United strikers have been able to produce the goods. However, despite having baulked at paying a large feefor Kane, it seems that United will have to dig deep if they want to add a quality forward to their roster. It has been reported that Atalanta have demanded a record price-tag of £86 million for Rasmus Hojlund while Napoli remain firm that they will not let Victor Osimhen leave this summer unless they receive around £131m for the striker.

WHAT NEXT? With Kane & Osimhen's price tag proving to be a major stumbling block, United have turned their attention to the likes of Ramos & Hojlund along with Brighton's Evan Ferguson. It remains to be seen which forward finally pairs up with Rashford next season at Old Trafford.
