Manchester United FC is actively seeking to bolster their squad to address the pressing issues confronting Ruben Amorim’s team.
With a record of nine Premier League losses this season and 26 goals conceded over 19 matches, their current goal difference stands at -5.
Despite the departure of former manager Erik ten Hag, the situation at Old Trafford remains unchanged, leaving Amorim grappling with the challenges of reviving the Premier League club.
To turn their fortunes around, the club must make significant and tough decisions, which include both offloading current players and acquiring new talents.
Reports from iNews indicate that Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres is eager for a transfer to Manchester United, hoping to reunite with his former manager, Amorim.
Under Amorim, Gyokeres thrived at Sporting, enjoying a successful stint together.
While Manchester United is keen to sign Gyokeres, they face challenges in finalizing the deal for this prolific attacker.
Man United Cannot Splash the Cash in January Transfer Window
Financial constraints due to Profit and Sustainability Rules are hindering their operations, leading to plans of offloading Casemiro, Antony, and Marcus Rashford on loan this winter.
This strategic move could help the club alleviate their PSR issues while lowering their wage bill. Acquiring Gyokeres would require approximately £60 million, but Sporting Lisbon is only willing to entertain offers in the summer transfer window.
Signing the attacker in January poses significant challenges for the Red Devils due to limited transfer funds.
In related news, Joshua Zirkzee has initiated discussions with Juventus regarding a potential move this month, potentially contributing to the list of players to be offloaded.
Additionally, the unsettled star Rashford seems to be nearing the end of his time at Old Trafford, with Amorim’s side reportedly setting a price tag of at least £40m for the English attacker.
