Transfer Rumour: Manchester United - 1

Reports from across Europe that United are showing an interest in Viktor Gyokeres, but they fear that Premier League rivals Liverpool could scupper their chances of landing him.

United are in the market for a new forward, as they want to add to their attacking options alongside Rasmus Hojlund.

The club has been evaluating different options for a potential transfer in this position, and Gyokeres seems to have caught the attention of the club's management. It is believed that INEOS, the club's new minority owners, are eager to proceed with the transfer plans to avoid missing out on specific targets.

INEOS are in the process of bringing in Dan Ashworth as sporting director and Jason Wilcox as technical director. However, their appointments are not yet finalised. 

United are aware that they need to address key areas in the squad and that will ideally see the spine of the team refreshed with a new central defender, a new midfielder and a forward all in their planning.

Who is Viktor Gyokeres?

Gyokeres possesses fantastic strength and speed and is known for fantastic ball control. Last season, he scored 22 goals for Coventry City. This persuaded Sporting to sign him for around €20 million. The Swedish forward has impressed many fans and pundits across Europe having scored 36 goals in all competitions. 

You can watch some of his best moments in the video below. The video is from LUTYHD - YouTube.

What are Man United fans saying?

Man United Fan Club posted on Twitter: "Gyokeres is one who has stood out to the club’s hierarchy and it is understood that INEOS – are willing to push ahead with transfer plans, if it means on not missing out on certain targets. Would you take him at MUFC? Thoughts?"

One fan replied with the following message:

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite.

Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference.
