Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Benfica attacker Kerem Akturkoglu.
The 25-year-old made the high-profile switch from the Turkish Super Lig to the Primeira Liga during the recent summer transfer window, leaving Galatasaray.
Since making the move, Akturkoglu has shone brightly in Lisbon, scoring two goals and providing two assists across three league appearances.
The winger has also made waves on the continental scene, netting for Benfica in Champions League contests against Red Star Belgrade and Atletico Madrid.
Akturkoglu possesses relative international pedigree, having represented Turkey on 36 occasions, including during matches at this summer's Euro 2024 in Germany.

Man United keen on Benfica star Akturkoglou?
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Benfica attacker Akturkoglu could be the subject of some intense transfer speculation in the near future.
The report claims that Premier League giants Manchester United are keen on securing the services of the 25-year-old despite him only just switching clubs in the summer.
It is understood that the Red Devils could be preparing a £34m move for Akturkoglu, who is just getting his feet under the table at in Lisbon.
Other top European clubs could supposedly join the hunt for the Turkey international should his impressive performances continue throughout the 2024-25 campaign.

Man United's winger options
Despite criticism at the beginning of this season, Marcus Rashford remains the first-choice option for Erik ten Hag on the left flank for Man United.
There are currently two younger players battling it out for a place in the XI for the Red Devils on the right side in the form of Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo.
Ten Hag's troops have struggled massively in the Premier League this season and currently sit 13th after collecting seven points from six matches.
Akturkoglu would certainly improve United's options on the flanks, but the 25-year-old might not fancy a move to the Theatre of Dreams at this point.
