Man Utd transfer news: Gyokeres stance emerges amid possible Rashford swap deal

Manchester United will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins this weekend as club chiefs attempt to thrash out a number of deals.

The Red Devils saw off Southampton midweek thanks in no small part to Amad, who netted a late hat-trick. It gives the Red Devils the perfect chance to make it consecutive Premier League victories for the first time this season as they take on Brighton at Old Trafford.

While there is plenty to think about on the pitch, there is also a lot to consider off of it. The January transfer window has just two weeks remaining so United need to get a move on if they have hope of sealing a few deals.

A number of stars continue to be linked with moves to Old Trafford, while there could yet be some exits. Find the best transfer rumours from the red half of Manchester below:

Red Devils confirm Gyokeres stance

Manchester United are still ‘hopeful’ of sealing a deal for Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres despite Arsenal attempting to steal a march. The Swede is hot property after a stunning season and reports earlier this week claimed that Arsenal were ready to activate his £83m release clause.

But United will not let him go without a fight. As per The Independent, United chiefs are still fancying their chances of signing the striker.

They are hopeful that their relationship with Sporting, as well as the chance to work with his former boss Amorim, will see Gyokeres move to Old Trafford. United cannot afford his lofty fee this month so are instead focusing on a summer swoop.

Dortmund eye Rashford

While Gyokeres could potentially arrive at the club at some point in the near future, one man who looks to be on the way out is Marcus Rashford. Italian side AC Milan looked to be the favourites for his signature but he now has another option.

According to reports, Rashford has held talks with Borussia Dortmund and the German side are determined to sign him on loan. A move to the Bundesliga could see Rashford reunited with former boss Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman has been working as a ‘shadow advisor’ at the Signal Iduna Park and it comes at the same time that current boss Nuri Sahin is under immense pressure.

United interested in Gittens

And should that move to Dortmund materialise, that could give them the ammunition to seal a transfer going the other way. United reportedly have their eyes on one of the German club’s brightest stars. As per Sky in Germany, the Red Devils are 'seriously interested' in Jamie Gittens.

The 20-year-old is currently in the middle of a standout season having scored 11 goals for Dortmund this term. But United would face serious competition for his services from Bayern Munich.

They have reportedly launched talks with Gittens’ representatives, with a sale likely should Dortmund fail to qualify for the Champions League this season.
