I'll take him!
...I'll take any forward at this point tbh.

Nazi shirt no., do not want
What's going on with the Nazi shirt? A source?
Can he head good? We desparately need a striker with good header.
Don't worry, just a stupid joke because 88 is a weird shirt number and is also dumb nazi slang for Heil Hitler.
Thank you for your answer.
If United can get a good striker option at a good price why not.
I think the squad needs significant ins and outs over the next 12 months. I posted in the "what do we need" thread, the striker is a huge puzzle piece and if he's good quality at only £25m it might be worth a risk, but United need a "sure thing" to convert chances post Ronaldo.
This kid is so young that him, Sancho and Antony would have a mean age of ~22 which is insane.

If we have to pay double the £25 mill quoted, then he is worth it. Looks a good striker.
25m no chance.
Never heard of him but that's based on the fees Benfica get for their forwards.

Benfica? I hardly know her
Two minutes into the video and I’m yet to see anything impressive.
10 impressive moments in the third
Is he better than HeeHaw over at Liverpool?
If we buy him, yes. If not, who cares :-)
He's not injured and under 30, I'm impressed.
I haven't watched the vid, but last season there was a stat showing he's the defender (from all 5 major competitions) that gets the most touches in the opponent's final 3rd. Pretty impressive.
Nah, he ain't it guys. Been really good for Benfica this season but imo still has a lot of flaws to make the step up.
Raul Jimenez replacement in summer for Wolves right here.
I’m not going back. Not good enough.
Only seen the highlights obviously, but my thoughts from that is that he seems to be a decent linkup player, which is required in our system, but his close control and finishing still needs to go up a notch or two. Think i watched a 5 minute video, and i'm not sure i saw him do a one-touch pass at all. Not excluding him, but he probably needs to develop significantly if he is to be our starting forward. Martial seems better at everything bar headers as of now. EDIT: Also, Martial probably better at staying injured, which is a bit significant 
Im sure a Caf member can comment on how good his head is.
Given we punted the CF transfer to next season, I'd prefer getting someone more established like Osimhen or Nkuku. CF is one position where I'm happy to see us overpay for quality.
Scores within 17 mins of his Qatar starting debut, replacing the Ol' One
Replaced Cristiano for country, for club too?
Not seen enough of him yet. My worry is that Benfica have been breeding donkeys over the last couple of years like Vinicius and Darwin. Hope this guy isn't the same breed if we're interested.
Nkuku is not a CF
Not 100% convinced, but one thing I am sure of is that Benfica will be laughing all the way to the bank in the summer, as usual.
For 10 years Portugal couldn't find a good player to save their lives, now every 20 year old that comes thorough looks great.
I’d say buy him out of spite alone but he also looks like a significant upgrade over the old fella.
Does he have a release clause (hopefully something closer to 40-50m as opposed to the Felix 120)?
Don't get too excited guys. Watched him twice in the Champions League and wasn't all that impressed. He didn't show any standout weaknesses nor strengths tbh. Only scored 1 in 6 games for Benfica who finished top of their CL group. Seemed a hard worker and team player at least.
Throw the money at them
Pay whatever it takes!
Not saying sign him, but this is what a no 9 looks like.
Be interesting to see him over a few more games but he's done well tonight
