Manchester United know they have very little to play for between now and the end of the season domestically, but success in the Europa League could prove key ahead of a huge summer transfer window.
Ruben Amorim is expected to overhaul his side this summer, in an attempt to restore United to their former glory. One player who has been repeatedly linked with a move to Old Trafford, is Swedish sensation Viktor Gyokeres who worked alongside the United boss at his former club.
United are admirers of the 26-year-old, who has also been tipped for a reunion with Amorim at Old Trafford, but will face competition from a number of clubs set to compete in the Champions League next season.
Fellow Premier League side Arsenal have also been linked with a move for the Swedish international and over the past weekend, Portuguese newspaper Correio Da Manha reported that Gyokeres has 'already given his yes' to a switch to Arsenal.
The Gunners' new sporting director Andrea Berta reportedly played a pivotal role in convincing Gyokeres about the club's vision. Further details divulged in the article suggest that Berta has been instrumental in progressing the move, making the Swedish international a top target.
The striker, who joined Sporting Clube de Portugal from Coventry City in 2023, has made a significant impact in Liga Portugal, notching an impressive tally of 43 goals in 50 matches last season. This year, Gyokeres is on track to eclipse his previous achievements, having already scored 43 goals in as many games.
His tenure at Sporting could end on a high note, with the team on the brink of another league title and competing for the Portuguese Cup.
