Man Utd are closing in on the signings of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils had a nightmare season in the Premier League with Ruben Amorim\u2019s side finishing 15th in the table<\/strong><\/a> and failed to qualify for Europe.<\/p>\n Man Utd<\/strong><\/a> had a last-gasp chance to qualify for next season\u2019s Champions League but blew it when they lost 1-0 to Tottenham in the Europa League final last month<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite their awful season, INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have decided to stick with Amorim as they head into the summer and then next campaign.<\/p>\n They want to provide the former Sporting CP head coach with the tools to be able to implement his style of play effectively and they will back him in the transfer market.<\/p>\n Man Utd have already brought in Wolves forward Matheus Cunha for \u00a362.5m<\/strong><\/a> as they look to improve his attack, while Brentford\u2019s Bryan Mbeumo is another player they have made a bid for.<\/p>\n READ: Mailbox:\u00a0Man Utd \u2018doing transfers right\u2019 or \u2018spaffing money around\u2019?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Sporting CP striker Gyokeres has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, due to his connection with Amorim, but it was thought that he wouldn\u2019t be interested in a move without Champions League football football.<\/p>\n However, former CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs revealed on Thursday that the Sweden international is \u201cvery keen\u201d on a transfer to Man Utd despite the lack of European football next term.<\/p>\n Jacobs told\u00a0The United Stand<\/a><\/strong>: \u201cMy understanding is that Viktor Gyokeres would be very keen on a move to Man United if they could pull that off, financially speaking.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think Gyokeres would be on \u00a3300,000 a week or more. So if Rashford and Sancho go they\u2019ve got wage bill space to invest in these players, so that\u2019s why if they bite the bullet on the transfer and agent fees, if they structure it in a way where they can start in the next financial year and get it on flexible instalments, it can be a way they can do that deal.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ON MAN UTD FROM F365:<\/strong>
