NEWS NOW: Newcastle United making “serious moves” to sign Man United star on loan deal of…..

Newcastle United are actively exploring the possibility of signing a new attacker, especially after their recent attempt to secure Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga ended in disappointment. The Magpies are determined to bolster their attacking options ahead of the upcoming season and are now considering alternative targets to strengthen their forward line.

Meanwhile, Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim is facing a challenging summer transfer window. His ambitions to reshape the squad and bring in fresh talent largely depend on his ability to generate funds through player sales. Without sufficient outgoings, his plans to refresh the squad may not materialize as envisioned.

On the other hand, Manchester United have already made an early move in the transfer market by securing the services of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha. The club is also eyeing Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo in a potential deal valued at around £60 million, signaling their intent to improve their attacking depth. However, their focus is not just on wingers or supporting forwards.

The Red Devils are also prioritizing the acquisition of a top-quality striker who can provide a consistent goal threat and possibly replace Rasmus Højlund. The young Danish striker struggled to make a significant impact last season, raising questions about his long-term suitability as United’s leading man up front. In their pursuit of a new number nine, the club has been linked with several high-profile names, including Viktor Gyökeres, Hugo Ekitike, and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.

However, the financial demands of signing such elite-level forwards are steep. To make room for these potential signings both in terms of squad space and budget, Manchester United will likely have to part ways with a few existing players in the coming weeks.
