Man United one transfer step away from green light for 'free' Viktor Gyokeres alternative

"I'm confident that we will come out of the window with a much stronger team than what we've gone into," Omar Berrada said in a recent interview about Manchester United's transfer business.

Going into the final stretch of June and into July, United have already done that. Matheus Cunha, an attacking playmaker who scored 15 Premier League goals last term, has already signed after the club triggered his £62.5million release clause at Wolves.

Work to add Bryan Mbeumo to Ruben Amorim's attack has been in progress for two weeks now. Despite Tottenham's suggested plan to hijack the move and reunite the forward, who scores five more goals than Cunha, with Thomas Frank, it's understood that the 25-year-old wants to join United.

After Mbeumo, a striker will be prioritised followed by the potential of a new goalkeeper and defender. Victor Osimhen, Hugo Ekitike and Viktor Gyokeres are all on their radar but the fees being touted make it hard to imagine a deal being sealed any time soon.

However, the window is open for over two more months and United aren't going to act restlessly just to get players through the door. "We’re going to do our best to do more signings quickly," Berrada told The Athletic recently.

"Sometimes when you’re not quick, it’s because you’re negotiating and you’re trying to make sure you get the right value for money. So being efficient or quick isn’t necessarily the best thing for the club.”

The Premier League's Profit & Sustainability rules (PSR) are also set to force United to work smartly. It's been widely reported that United need to sell players to raise funds this summer and yet, that hasn't happened yet.

Alejandro Garnacho has been linked with moves to Italy, Spain and Premier League rivals while
