Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag remains interested in Frenkie de Jong and Jude Bellingham, but is also a fan of Mohammed Kudus and Goncalo Ramos, according to a report.
The Red Devils are expected to be active in the January transfer window, especially in their pursuit of a new forward.
This is following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, who had his contract terminated by mutual consent in November.
Man Utd are expected to lodge a bid to sign PSV Eindhoven and Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo next month as Ten Hag seeks a long-term Ronaldo replacement.

Ten Hag is, though, prioritising attacking reinforcements, and while he believes Anthony Martial can blossom into a ‘complete striker’, there is an interest in Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos.
The Dutch manager ‘likes’ Ramos – who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal’s starting XI for their World Cup last-16 clash against Switzerland, netting a hat-trick in the 6-1 win.
Benfica are not desperate to sell, however, especially…
