Viktor Gyökeres Completes Medical and Signs 5-Year Deal with Manchester UnitedManchester United have reportedly completed the signing of Viktor Gyökeres, with the Swedish striker passing his medical and signing a five-year contract at Old Trafford.
The deal ends intense speculation over his future, beating out competition from Arsenal and Real Madrid.Gyökeres joins after a record-breaking season at Sporting CP, where he scored 54 goals and registered 13 assists in all competitions.
His arrival is seen as a major coup and part of United’s aggressive rebuild under new manager Rúben Amorim.Ivan Toney Also on United’s Radar as Backup OptionIn a parallel development, United are also exploring a surprise move for Ivan Toney, currently playing for Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League.
The 29-year-old England striker has attracted interest following a prolific season in Saudi Arabia, where he scored 30 goals in 44 appearances, finishing just behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the scoring charts.
United have reportedly:• Contacted Toney’s representatives• Submitted a €35 million (£30m) offer• Considered him a cost-effective, experienced forward optionToney joined Al-Ahli from Brentford last summer and is under contract until June 2028, earning a substantial £415,000 per week. Despite that, he’s said to be open to a Premier League return.
Although Gyökeres remains United’s marquee addition up front, Toney is viewed as a reliable secondary target, especially with United aiming to offload players like Rasmus Højlund and Alejandro Garnacho as part of a front-line overhaul.
Other Incoming MovesUnited have already:• Signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves• Agreed terms with Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, who is expected to join shortlyIf the Toney deal goes through, it could signal a strategic shift by United—investing in high-output, proven forwards instead of waiting on younger talent to develop. Combined with Gyökeres, it could form one of the most potent attacking partnerships in the Premier League next season.
