Report: Man City, Bayern and Barcelona enter race to sign top Man United transfer target | CaughtOffside

The arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim at Manchester United have seen the Red Devils get linked to Sporting Lisbon players.

At the top of the list of Man United's potential transfer targets for the future is Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres.

The Sweden international has scored goals consistently for the Portuguese club and his fine performances have caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

His hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League has increased interest in his services even more.

According to L'Equipe, Man City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are all in the race to sign Gyokeres along with Man United.

The striker has a release clause of £83million (€100million) so clubs would have to dig deep into their pockets if they want to sign the former Brighton and Coventry attacker.

In 10 Liga Portugal games this season, the attacker has already scored 16 goals, continuing his fine form from last season.

He scored 29 goals and registered 10 assists in 33 league games last season.

The Red Devils have struggled for goals this season and both Rasmus Hojund and Joshua Zirkzee have failed to make a huge impact at the club.

Man United have scored only nine goals in ten Premier League matches this season, only Southampton and Crystal Palace have scored fewer goals than them.

It shows that a new attacker is needed at the club desperately but they would have to decide if they are willing to let one of Hojlund or Zirkzee leave the club.

If they sign Gyokeres in the future, he will be expected to walk straight into the starting line up at the club.

A lot will depend on what Man United's budget for the upcoming transfer windows is, since they have spent heavily recently and it remains to be seen if they are ready to do that again.
