Man Utd transfer news: Viktor Gyokeres price set as Harry Kane bargain deal emerges

Manchester United will be in the market for a striker come the summer and Viktor Gyokeres is likely to be their prime target with Sporting Lisbon braced for offers

Manchester United seem to be going from bad to worse with injuries and form not going their way.

The defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday was bad enough, but it also included a serious injury to Lisandro Martinez, which will rule him out for months. After that Ruben Amorim failed to land any deadline day signings, which was always set to be the case.

It means those at Old Trafford will have to make do with what they’ve got as they aim to avoid surpassing last season’s worst ever Premier League finish. The lack of a prolific frontman has long been cited as an issue whilst Amorim is largely working without any natural wing-backs, although he did land the signing of Patrick Dorgu late in the window.

We take a look at the transfer news coming out of Manchester ahead of what could be a defining summer.

Gyokeres’ price tag
Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres is likely to be top of United’s shopping list as they look to reunite the frontman with Amorim. Gyokeres proved to be an inspired signing when he moved to Portugal and is now one of Europe’s most prolific forwards.

He scored a hat-trick against Manchester City several months ago and according to iNews the Lisbon outfit would be willing to part ways with their star striker for around £60million.

Sporting have shown that they will sell their top talent for the right price. Amorim saw a number of his best players leave during his tenure and the club may yet see their former manager return for their prized asset.
