Following his outstanding hat trick for Portugal, Goncalo Ramos has the hearts of Manchester United supporters racing.

The 21-year-old, who was given the responsibility of leading the line for Fernando Santos’ team against Switzerland, lost no time in making his presence known on the grandest stage of them all with an amazing hat-trick that got his team off to a great start.

The former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo was, of course, benched and gave way to Benfica’s forward, giving the latter his chance to shine.

At the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Portugal won thanks to goals from Pepe, Raphael Guerreiro, and Rafael Leao. Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji scored what turned out to be a mere consolation goal.

Ramos was given the chance to captain the team when Ronaldo, a former United No. 7, was abruptly dropped from the starting lineup after receiving criticism for his antics after being replaced against South Korea in their group stage match.

Ramos has already drawn significant interest from around Europe since the striker appears to be the next player in the Benfica pipeline.

Some United supporters think that the forward, who is filling in for Darwin Nunez after Nunez left for Liverpool this summer, is a perfect match for Cristiano Ronaldo.

His potential as a player for Erik ten Hag to consider in the upcoming transfer window was raised by fans on social media.
