Manchester United are ramping up a move for a €100m-rated striker who is open to joining the Red Devils this summer

Manchester United are in the market for a new No.9 this summer but have seemingly switched their focus from Viktor Gyokeres with the Sweden striker keen on a move to Arsenal

If Rayan Cherki performs for Manchester City as confidently as he talks, the club will have already completed one of the most successful and eye-catching transfer deals of the summer.

Manchester United still intend to sell Antony this summer following his impressive loan spell with Real Betis, but rejected a 'swap deal' offer.

RAYAN CHERKI has arrived in Manchester with a score to settle – and says he wants to ‘kill’ United. The £30.4million City new boy was part of the Lyon team who were dramatically beaten at Old

Viktor Gyokeres has received a rival contract offer worth £11m-a-year after holding talks with Arsenal and Manchester United, according to reports. The 27-year-old has been in talks with Premier League giants Arsenal and Man United following another sensational season at Sporting Lisbon.

Manchester United have reportedly identified two top Bryan Mbeumo this summer as fears grow of a crushing Tottenham Hotspur hijack of the explosive Brentford winger.

Mbeumo scored 20 Premier League goals last season; Spurs have held initial discussions with Brentford about a deal; Man Utd also interested in Mbeumo; Forwards valuation is in excess of £60m

It was at that point that the entire saga took a turn. Sporting CP president Frederico Varandas accused Gyökeres’s agent of “blackmail” and rejected the existence of an agreement which would see the striker sold for well below his €100 million (£85.1 million, $115.4 million) release clause.

Manchester United and Inter Milan are working on the formula of a deal that will see Rasmus Hojlund swap Old Trafford for the San Siro, and a report has detailed the terms being discussed. Man Utd splashed out £64m (rising to £72m through add-ons) when signing Hojlund from Atalanta two summers ago.

United's ability to attract sought-after talents is not unduly affected by their on-field fortunes - and with good reason

The summer transfer window reopens until September 1 on Monday, and clubs across the Premier League and beyond are positioning themselves to complete deals as early as possible. Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City are among the outfits who have been active already, but the bulk of the business is yet to take place.
