Man Utd transfer news: New Viktor Gyokeres claim made as fresh Marcus Rashford setback comes to light

Manchester United are expected to be active in the transfer market after a poor season but they are still yet to build on the capture of Wolves forward Matheus Cunha

Manchester United are working hard behind the scenes to try and get more signings over the line as they bid to shake up Ruben Amorim’s playing squad ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

The Red Devils endured their worst ever season in the Premier League last year and have already snapped up Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a bid to refresh their frontline, with Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo next in their sights.

Plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected at United in the coming weeks and months with things finally starting to heat up in the transfer market.

And with Amorim keen to get fresh faces in the door before the club head off on their pre-season tour of the United States next month, the pressure is on United’s top brass to deliver.

Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest transfer news from in and around Old Trafford…

New Rashford setback

Manchester United are said to have ‘offered’ Real Madrid the chance to sign Marcus Rashford for £40million this summer – but the Spanish giants are unlikely to take them up on the offer.

Rashford is surplus to requirements at Old Trafford and wanted to seal a dream move to Barcelona. But with the Spanish champions advancing in their pursuit of Nico Williams, a move to the Nou Camp would appear to be off the cards.

According to DefensaCentral, United have already offered Real the chance to step in and take Rashford to Spain amid their search for a striker. The report notes, though, that Real have already concluded that he is not the right profile for what they are seeking.

Gyokeres latest

Viktor Gyokeres’ agent is reportedly willing to leak voice notes confirming that the club’s former sporting director, Hugo Viana, would sell his client for less than his release clause.

Arsenal and Manchester United have been heavily linked with the striker, whose preferred destination is believed to be north London. His future is unclear, though, amid claims Arsenal have reached an agreement on personal terms with Benjamin Sesko.

Gyokeres seems destined to leave Sporting Lisbon regardless and according to Record, the player’s agent, Hasan Çetinkaya, has ‘evidence’ that Viana agreed Gyokeres could be sold for €60m plus €10m in add-ons (£51m plus £8.5m) in a meeting back in September.

Amorim wants signings

Ruben Amorim is ‘growing impatient’ for new signings ahead of the club’s pre-season tour of the Untied States with just Matheus Cunha through the door.

The Red Devils are working to sign Bryan Mbeumo and also want a new striker with Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike and Viktor Gyokeres on their wishlist.

But Amorim wants more progress to be made on the transfer front before his team jet out Stateside to compete in the Premier League Summer Series.
