Recent reports suggest that Manchester United has made an offer to sign Viktor Gyokeres in an attempt to outmaneuver Arsenal in the race for the Sporting CP striker.

Initially, it was believed that Manchester United would not be in the running for Gyokeres due to their failure to qualify for the Champions League this season.

However, journalist Ben Jacobs revealed that the Sweden international is keen on joining Manchester United even without European football next season.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided an update, stating that Manchester United has made new contacts with Gyokeres' camp and remains interested in securing a deal.

Romano also highlighted the financial complexities Manchester United faces in acquiring Gyokeres following their loss in the Europa League final.

On the other hand, Portuguese journalist Nuno Farinha indicated that Arsenal is the club Gyokeres has always wanted to join and that talks with the Gunners are progressing well.

Despite Arsenal's advances, reports suggest that Manchester United is still in the race to sign Gyokeres, with Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim playing a crucial role in the pursuit.

Spanish website Fichajes reported that Manchester United is ready to make an offer for Gyokeres after Sporting CP's stance on his asking price caused tension between the player and the club.

Meanwhile, Gyokeres has expressed frustration following Sporting's president's decision not to sell him for €65m this summer.
