Manchester United’s transfer activity has exploded in the last 24 hours, highlighted by the signing of Viktor Gyökeres.
The Swedish striker has passed his medical and agreed to a five-year deal, becoming the latest major addition under manager Erik ten Hag.At a press conference today, Ten Hag praised Gyökeres, saying:“Viktor is a proven goal scorer at the highest level, and we expect him to add something special to our attack.
His strength, determination, and finishing skills make him an ideal fit for our style of play.”Gyökeres, formerly of Sporting CP, arrives after an impressive season in Portugal and is set to lead the revamped United attack.In surprising news, United’s forward Rasmus Højlund is poised for a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.
Sources indicate that an offer came over the weekend that was too good to refuse, and Højlund is expected to agree personal terms with a Saudi Pro League club soon.“These choices aren’t easy,” Ten Hag commented. “But both the player and club agree this is the right step for him now.”On the goalkeeper front, United have quickly moved to find a replacement for André Onana, who looks close to joining Paris Saint-Germain.
The club confirmed they have signed a new number one keeper, though the identity remains confidential until paperwork is finalized. Reports suggest the new signing is an experienced international with Champions League experience.
Adding to the flurry of activity, Ten Hag revealed that two more signings will be announced today. One is believed to be a flexible left-back, and the other a dynamic midfielder from Serie A, with both deals nearly complete.
