Man United's new £195m dream attack with Matheus Cunha, Viktor Gyokeres U-turn and four sales

Manchester United know that significant funds will have to be generated through player sales this summer.

One other loanee in Antony could raise another tidy sum for the Reds. Having enjoyed a hugely impressive spell at Real Betis, United
