      by

      However, the Red Devils are reportedly prepared to spend big on other targets as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani battle to become the club’s next owner.
      According to The Mirror, 21-year-old striker Ramos is seen as an exciting prospect for the future and has scored 25 goals in all competitions for the Portuguese giants this season.
      The report adds that United are now set to initiate contact with the Portuguese international who scored a hat-trick at the World Cup against Switzerland.

      The report adds that it could take a fee of between £70-£100million for Benfica to part ways with one of their star players.
      Any potential deal could eclipse the club record fee of £89.3m United paid Juventus in August 2016 for Paul Pogba.
      The report states that Ten Hag is an admirer of Ramos and wants to work with him.
      The Dutchman will be aware United need more firepower with Marcus Rashford the club’s top scorer on 29 goals followed by Bruno Fernandes with 11.

      England’s record goal scorer Kane is also on United’s radar but they face having to pay £100m upfront for the 29-year-old.
      The England skipper is under contract with the North London side until 2024 and Spurs are faced with the prospect of having to sell their star man this summer – or lose him for free a year later.
      Sun Sport revealed last month that United are confident of signing Kane should Spurs fail to qualify for the Champions League.
      The Red Devils believe that missing out on Europe’s premier club competition would see the north Londoners reduce their £100m asking price.
      The Old Trafford outfit would also be able to increase Kane’s wages by £100,000 to £300,000 per week.
      United face competition for Kane from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich who are looking for a replacement for Robert Lewandowksi. More

      But City are now also in the hunt for a player who has been compared to Paul Pogba – his childhood idol.
      The Pogba link led to assumptions that Ndour would be keen to join his hero at Juventus.
      But the 6ft 3in teenager is not thought to favour a return to Italy as he considers his options.
      SunSport understands that City scouts have been watching him closely in action for both Benfica and Italy’s Under-20 side.

      Ndour will be out of contract in the summer and so available without a transfer fee, although training compensation will be payable to Benfica and former club Atalanta.
      He joined Benfica in 2020 and at the end of his first season made his debut for the club’s B team in the second tier of Portuguese football.
      At just 16 years and 269 days, Ndour was the youngest player ever to represent the team – beating the record set by Chelsea loan star Joao Felix.
      He made his debut for Benfica’s first team in March and has seven caps for Italy’s under-20 side.

      And the SunSport has learned his performance against Man Utd in Sunday’s 1-0 clash left Ten Hag in awe after defeat. 
      A source said: “Rice is fast emerging as United’s number one summer target.
      “He completely ran the game and United’s coaching staff and scouts were all talking about him after the match.
      “There’s a growing belief that Rice is interested in leaving at the end of the season and United believe they simply have to ensure he heads north and not to Arsenal or Chelsea.

      “It would be a massive sign of intent and a great way for any new owners to show they are determined to try and match Manchester City in the years ahead.”
      West Ham’s win over the Red Devils thanks to a goal from Said Benrahma damaged the club’s top four hopes with Liverpool hot on their heels, sitting just one point behind them.

      Declan Rice was impressive against Man Utd
      Benrahma’s weak shot trickled through the grasp of the Spaniard, who has made other high-profile errors this season.
      The source said: “Erik still has faith in David. He still has a future at the club. It’s likely De Gea will start next season in goal for United.
      “There was interest in Jordan Pickford earlier this season. But after he signed a new deal with Everton that interest has cooled.”
