Manchester United Target Viktor Gyokeres Amid Rashford Exit Talks

Manchester United have signed Matheus Cunha and are eyeing a summer move for Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres, valued at £67 million. Marcus Rashford is linked with a potential move to Barcelona, possibly accepting a pay cut. Rashford is unlikely to feature again under manager Ruben Amorim, and United may also offload Sancho and Antony.

Just like the start of a new era, Manchester United have moved swiftly in the 2025 summer transfer window by securing Matheus Cunha as their first signing. Following a disastrous 2024-25 campaign where they finished 15th in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham, sweeping changes are expected at Old Trafford.

The club is reportedly open to offers for any player, and forward Marcus Rashford could be on his way to Barcelona, even accepting a pay cut to facilitate the move. According to Marca, United are willing to wait until the end of the window for a potential deal, with Rashford unlikely to feature again under manager Ruben Amorim. Meanwhile, Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres remains a top target, with his price set at around €80 million (£67 million).

The Swedish forward has expressed his comfort with life in Lisbon, making a transfer less straightforward. However, United may fund his move through the sales of Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony. Gyokeres is seen as a potentially transformative signing if a deal can be reached. As Amorim oversees a crucial rebuild, United fans hope for more decisive action in the coming weeks to restore the club’s competitive edge.
