Manchester United might have one more consequential game of the season remaining but they are looking at a scenario where they lose out on a top target because Arsenal are making moves. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike Man Utd<\/a>, who are still competing for a trophy this season, Arsenal\u2019s season is over and the best they can do is finish second to Liverpool. <\/p>\n

It has led to a quickening in transfer business for the Gunners and that spells trouble for Ruben Amorim<\/a> because the top clubs buy in the same elite pool of players. <\/p>\n

Reports say that Arsenal have launched their first \u2018official\u2019 bid for one of those elite players and he\u2019s someone Amorim has already sent a message to.<\/p>\n

Manchester United are close to signing Matheus Cunha<\/a>, while the signing of Enzo Kana-Biyik<\/a> has already received Fabrizio Romano\u2019s \u201cHere We Go\u201d. <\/p>\n

The next step in the market is likely to be for a striker and the names of Liam Delap<\/a> and Victor Osimhen<\/a> have generated the most headlines. <\/p>\n

Many top clubs need a striker in the upcoming summer which is why there\u2019s expected to be a brutal transfer race for the same pool of players. <\/p>\n

Arsenal seem to have decided the horse they\u2019d like to bet on, as Portuguese outlet Correio de Manha<\/a> reports that they\u2019ve launched the first \u2018official\u2019 bid for Viktor Gyokeres<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Sporting hitman is sure to leave Portugal this summer and his leap under Amorim made United a natural destination for him. <\/p>\n

However, Gyokeres to Man Utd hasn\u2019t seemed likely<\/a> for a while now, especially after Amorim\u2019s public message hinted at him<\/a> that was as direct as it could be without naming anybody. <\/p>\n

Man Utd need to move quickly for a striker<\/p>\n

Gyokeres is obviously a superstar talent but it seems like United moved on from the Swede earlier, and it would be a surprise if he didn\u2019t go to Arsenal now.<\/p>\n

Having said that, United do need a striker urgently and the market is heating up so they need to identify their top target quickly and start moving.<\/p>\n

Liam Delap\u2019s transfer race<\/a> is seeing new teams join it all the time, while Victor Osimhen is a dream<\/a> but an extremely expensive one at that. <\/p>\n

Then there are options who have flown under the radar, like Jonathan David or Jonathan Burkardt<\/a>, but they haven\u2019t made as much noise so the interest is likely to be a smokescreen. <\/p>\n

No matter who it is, getting a new striker through the doors in the summer is crucial. United cannot let the Gyokeres blow derail their plans. <\/p>\n

Next man up mentality is key and they need to move quickly to get their man, whoever it is. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United might have one more consequential game of the season remaining but they are looking at a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,79,16,15,165],"class_list":{"0":"post-91184","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-viktor-gyokeres"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114485959344113066","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91184","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=91184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
