Man Utd news: Viktor Gyokeres twist, Mbeumo alternative, second Spurs transfer hijack | Football | Sport




Manchester United have already had a busy transfer window, but it’s expected to get even busier. Matheus Cunha penned a deal in the first part of the summer window, with yet more attacking reinforcements being eyed up by the Red Devils.

Additions are expected to continue in the attacking department, with Viktor Gyokeres having emerged as United’s No.1 striker target. They’ve faced competition from Arsenal, but Ruben Amorim appears to be keen to reunite with the man who brought him so much joy at Sporting.

Then there’s a continued push to sign Bryan Mbeumo, who appears to have snubbed both Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. As the transfer talk continues to heat up, Express Sport rounds up all of the latest United news.

Viktor Gyokeres twist

In the latest twist to the Gyokeres saga, it’s being reported that the striker would be willing to ‘go on strike’ in order to push through a move away from Sporting. Portuguese outlet Record have sensationally claimed the Swedish international has been left frustrated by Sporting’s demands, with talk that the Lisbon-based outfit are demanding around £70m for the marksman. As such, it’s claimed by the report that Gyokeres has informed them he’ll never play for the club again, having been under the impression he would be available to leave for £60m, including bonuses.

Bryan Mbeumo alternative revealed

If United aren’t able to get a deal over the line for Bryan Mbeumo, they could turn attention to Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo. It’s reported by Sky Sports that the attacker has been on United’s radar for some time, with Tottenham Hotspur also eyeing up the 25-year-old. United have already seen one bid for Mbeumo knocked back, with the expectation that the 20-time English champions will submit another offer. But if their pursuit isn’t successful, Semenyo could represent their Mbeumo alternative.

Spurs plot second transfer hijack

Tottenham have been mooted as Mbeumo’s suitors themselves, with the north London outfit having attempted to hijack the deal. However, it’s claimed Spurs could go head-to-head with United for another transfer target, this time Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney. GIVEMESPORT are reporting Hackney is attracting attention from some of the country’s top talents, including United and Tottenham. The 22-year-old has been named in Lee Carsley’s England U21 squad for this summer’s European Championship, with the expectation being that any movement on his future will have to wait until after the tournament.
