MANCHESTER UNITED are optimistic about their prospects of signing Viktor Gyokeres this summer, according to reports. The Red Devils are eager to strengthen their front line ahead of next term.

Manchester United are hopeful of holding off competition for Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres to secure a deal in the summer. Arsenal are understood to have raised the striker in discussions over a badly-needed forward signing for January, having brought forward plans from the summer after the ACL injury suffered by Gabriel Jesus.

Viktor Gyokeres is set to be one of the hottest properties in the summer transfer window, and Manchester United could hold the key to landing his signature.
