Man Utd transfer news: New Viktor Gyokeres opportunity as Bryan Mbeumo deadline looms

There's little more than a month until the Premier League returns and the transfer window is well underway. But Manchester United have yet to make a significant splash in overhauling Ruben Amorim's squad.

The Red Devils moved quickly to add Matheus Cunha to their squad and have confirmed the arrival of Diego Leon but otherwise struggled to make additions. Bids for Bryan Mbuemo have been placed but the club have yet to secure his signature from Brentford.

And upon the club's return to pre-season training Marcus Rashford reported back on Monday and Tuesday - despite being given extra time off to find a new club United have yet to find a new club for Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia or Alejandro Garnacho.

Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans all saw their contracts end, with the latter taking on a coaching role with the club. There is still plenty of work to be done in order to transform Amorim's side after they finished 15th in the Premier League last term.

Mirror Football takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding Old Trafford.

Gyokeres loan

Viktor Gyokeres will reportedly look for a loan move this summer should Arsenal fail to agree a deal for him. The Gunners are said to have reached an impasse with Sporting CP and are willing to walk away from a deal.

But the ex-Coventry striker, who has been linked to Manchester United, remains adamant he will not play for the Portuguese side again after threatening to strike rather than return to pre-season training. Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce side are reported to be among the teams keeping tabs on the situation. Juventus are also monitoring Gyokeres' prospects as they look to add a striker.

Free agent?

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic could be available for free this summer with the Serie A side poised to offer the Serbian a deal to terminate his contract. The striker, who has been linked to Manchester United amid Juve's reported interest in Jadon Sancho and Rasmus Hojlund, appears to have no future with the Old Lady.

Vlahovic, 25 has continued to be linked with a move to England despite joining the Itailian giants ahead of Arsenal. Transfer talk has intensified this summer as the forward enters the final 12 months of his contract.

Reports in Italy claim that Vlahovic will not entertain talks of a contract extension and it is claimed he would even be prepared to sit out of the entire 2025/26 campaign to rake in his €12m (£10.3m) salary. It now appears all but certain Vlahovic will leave Turin in the coming weeks as Juventus prepare to make Vlahovic an offer to rip up his contract.

United confident of meeting Mbeumo deadline

Manchester United are optimistic of agreeing a deal with Brentford to sign Bryan Mbeumo in time for the club's pre-season tour of the United States, report Sky Sports. Ruben Amorim wants his squad ready in time for the trip in order to integrate new players and ensure everyone is up to speed heading into the season.

The Red Devils begin their time in the USA with a match against West Ham in New Jersey on July 26. There is said to be 'cautious optimism' at Old Trafford that a deal will get over the line.

The clubs still have a gap in their valuation of the player with work in particular to be done on the structure of the deal. The Bees want a £65m transfer fee which United are said not to be far off, but the west London side want the majority of the fee to be paid up front.
