Manchester United target Goncalo Ramos is being offered around the Premier League by super-agent Jorge Mendes.

That is according to The Sun, who claim that Mendes is working hard to get Ramos a big move to the Premier League.

United are – unsurprisingly – one of the teams being offered the chance to go and sign Ramos from Benfica this summer.

However, Mendes is offering Ramos to a number of United’s Premier League rivals too.

Newcastle United, West Ham United, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur have all ‘been approached’ by Mendes.

Arguably the biggest agent in football is gauging interest from around England with a big move now in the pipeline.

Benfica are allegedly seeking around £80million for Ramos this summer, a similar price to the one Liverpool paid for Darwin Nunez last summer.

That would be an enormous outlay and Nunez’s hot-and-cold Premier League campaign may leave some clubs a little fearful.

Goncalo Ramos could be the man for Manchester United

We can imagine that Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen will be simply out of reach for United this summer.

United will need to pivot to somebody else and that may mean going for somebody a little less proven and polished.

Atalanta forward Rasmus Hojlund fits that bill and so does Ramos.

The 21-year-old smashed 27 goals and 12 assists this past season, helping Benfica win the league title over in Portugal.

Ramos also excelled at the World Cup, firing a stunning hat-trick against Switzerland whilst Cristiano Ronaldo sat on the bench.

Ramos may go through the ups and downs just like Nunez but with his combination of size, speed, great control and link-up play as well as predatory instincts inside the box, Ramos could become United’s next great striker.

Erik ten Hag’s men would surely be the most appealing of the possible destinations for Ramos, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see United firm up their interest in him soon.
