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. Gyokeres, 26, excelled under United boss Ruben Amorim at Sporting CP.

And according to the Independent, Red Devils chiefs are "hopeful" that they can reunite the pair at the end of the season. To do so, United may well have to beat off strong competition from Arsenal. The Gunners are keen to sign a prolific striker and could even try to move for one this month following the ACL injury suffered last weekend by Gabriel Jesus.

Gyokeres is admired by figures within the London club, however Sporting would rather sell at the end of the season. The Swede is said to possess a release clause worth under £100million. It's claimed that he would "love" to work with Amorim again as the Portuguese attempts to take United into a successful new era.
In addition to Gyokeres, Arsenal are also said to hold interest in Benjamin Sesko and Evan Ferguson. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS. Sesko, 21, has scored eight Bundesliga goals for RB Leipzig so far this season. While Ferguson, 20, has struggled for game time at Brighton, starting just two Premier League games under Fabian Hurzeler.
