MAN UTD REMAIN 'CONFIDENT' OF SIGNING GYOKERES – DESPITE DISAPPOINTING SEASON, SPORTING STAR STILL TOP TARGET
Red Devils Believe They Can Still Land €100m-Rated Striker Amid Competition
Manchester United have not given up hope of signing Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, despite a disappointing season that saw them miss out on Champions League football.
The Swedish international, who has a €100m (£85m) release clause, remains a top target for United as INEOS looks to revamp the squad under Erik ten Hag (or a potential new manager). While competition is fierce, the club believes their project appeal and financial muscle can still secure the deal.
Why United Are Still in the Race
✔ Gyökeres Open to Premier League Move – Dreamed of playing in England
💰 United Can Meet Release Clause – Funds available despite FFP
🔴 INEOS’ Ambitious Vision – Promised major signings
