Manchester United are stepping up their search for a new striker, with Newcastle's Alexander Isak and Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres emerging as top targets, according to reports.
The Red Devils, who struggled for goals last season, are keen to bolster their attacking options under Erik ten Hag. Swedish international Isak has impressed at St James' Park, while Gyokeres enjoyed a prolific debut campaign in Portugal following his move from Coventry.
Arsenal Also in the Frame
Interestingly, Arsenal are also monitoring both forwards as Mikel Arteta looks to add firepower to his title-chasing squad. This could set up a potential transfer battle between the Premier League rivals.
Amorim: The Wildcard Option?
In a surprising twist, Sporting manager Ruben Amorim has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford. The highly-rated Portuguese coach could potentially bring Gyokeres with him should he make the switch to Manchester.
United's striker search comes as they look to:
- Improve their goal output after a disappointing season
- Provide competition for Rasmus Hojlund
- Add experience to their young attacking line
With the transfer window heating up, United fans will be eager to see which of these targets materializes into concrete bids in the coming weeks.
