According to Florian Plettenberg, a famous journalist from ยูฟ่าเบท. Manchester United have opened serious talks to sign Viktor Yokeres, a striker in the form of Sporting Lisbon, to strengthen their team this summer.
Yokeres is one of the most sought-after players at the moment, having scored 24 goals in 21 games in all competitions this season.
His excellent form for the Portuguese club has come under the management of Ruben Amorim. Who has elevated the 26-year-old striker from a nobody in the Championship to a player. That many of Europe’s top teams want.
The Red Devils could be on the hunt for a new striker. With Marcus Rashford currently playing up front despite spending most of his recent years out wide.
Joshua Zirkzee netted for the first time in the Premier League since the opening day of the season on Sunday as he bagged a brace in the 4-0 win over Everton. But he was deployed deeper in the match.
The Swede has scored 66 goals in 68 games under Amorim. And is now believed to be worth more than the club record fee of £19.5 million. That Sporting paid for him last year.
Plettenberg Talks over a move to Old Trafford have reportedly begun. But United will need to sell some of their players before they can sign one.
The Red Devils could be looking for a new striker, although Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund are back in the scoring game. While Marcus Rashford can also play in that position.
City are also interested in Yökeres. And with Hugo Viana set to become their new sporting director, they are hoping to get the deal done.
