Manchester United are keeping close tabs on the situation surrounding Viktor Gyokeres as he attempts to leave Sporting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United<\/a> fans want to see more goals next season and Ruben Amorim<\/a> is trying to make that happen.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha has joined United<\/a> from Wolverhampton Wanderers and should occupy one of the number 10 roles in Amorim\u2019s system.<\/p>\n

United are chasing Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> to join Cunha in the final third, though there is work to be done on a deal for the Brentford star.<\/p>\n

Amorim could field a new-look front three next season, but that would mean bringing in a new centre-forward as well.<\/p>\n

Rasmus Hojlund struggled this past season and United may invest in a new goalscorer if money can be raised.<\/p>\n

Liam Delap chose a move to Chelsea<\/a> over United, and that brings Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres back into focus.<\/p>\n

Gyokeres was a goal machine under Amorim at Sporting, and many expected him to secure a big-money transfer this summer.<\/p>\n

That hasn\u2019t happened, and while we are early into the summer window, the door appears to be open for United to strike.<\/p>\n

United have made contact to sign Gyokeres<\/a>, setting the wheels in motion for a potential reunion with Amorim.<\/p>\n

Gyokeres is now furious with Sporting, believing that they are pricing him out of a potential move away from Lisbon.<\/p>\n

Sporting president Frederico Varandas has hit back at Gyokeres<\/a>, with the situation around the Swede\u2019s future now in danger of escalating.<\/p>\n

A <\/a>Bola report that Gyokeres\u2019 agents are expected to arrive in Lisbon very soon as they attempt to solve the problems between Sporting and the striker.<\/p>\n

The agents involved are \u2018unhappy\u2019 and are now set to fly out to Portugal for crunch talks over a potential transfer.<\/p>\n

United will be paying close attention, though may not be able to offer Gyokeres an immediate solution.<\/p>\n

Agents want Viktor Gyokeres transfer but United may need to wait<\/strong><\/p>\n

United have already committed money to Cunha\u2019s arrival, paying his \u00a362.5million release clause in three instalments.<\/p>\n

Mbeumo will, hopefully, be the next United arrival, but a deal for the Brentford attacker will not come cheap.<\/p>\n

Gyokeres would cost a similar fee, and United may need to offload some players to afford the Sporting ace.<\/p>\n

Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony are all available, but progress on permanent exits for the trio appears slow.<\/p>\n

United may have to hope that Gyokeres is patient and can wait for the move to Old Trafford, though his agents are pushing for a move.<\/p>\n

A Bola suggest that Gyokeres\u2019 representatives believe a transfer must go through this summer for two reasons.<\/p>\n

The first is that Gyokeres is already 27, and waiting another year may see a move to a top-level club fade away.<\/p>\n

The second is that Gyokeres showed loyalty to Sporting by snubbing a transfer last summer, instead deciding to stay and win another league title.<\/p>\n

Sporting are standing firm on their price tag, but United will hope to win the race \u2013 and not be held to ransom in the process.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are keeping close tabs on the situation surrounding Viktor Gyokeres as he attempts to leave Sporting.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":177403,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,2465,16,15,165],"class_list":{"0":"post-177402","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-manchester","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-viktor-gyokeres"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114668381697716245","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
