Erik ten Hag 'tells Man Utd board' to sign £88m striker who idolises Cristiano Ronaldo

Erik ten Hag has given Manchester United's board the 'go-ahead' to sign Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos, despite their interest in Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen.

Ramos, 21, is one of the most exciting youngsters in Europe and has scored 24 goals for Benfica this season. He hit the headlines during the World Cup in Qatar, when he replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal's starting XI to score a hat-trick against Switzerland.

Ramos called Ronaldo "my reference" and labelled him an "idol" after that game. He could now follow in the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's footsteps by completing a summer move to Old Trafford, although the Red Devils remain interested in other forwards.
