Man Utd find new Victor Gyokeres transfer opportunity amid Bryan Mbeumo deadline
There's little more than a month until the Premier League returns and the transfer window is well underway. But Manchester United have yet to make a significant splash in overhauling Ruben Amorim's squad.
The Red Devils moved quickly to add Matheus Cunha to their squad and have confirmed the arrival of Diego Leon but otherwise struggled to make additions. Bids for Bryan Mbuemo have been placed but the club have yet to secure his signature from Brentford.
And upon the club's return to pre-season training Marcus Rashford reported back on Monday and Tuesday - despite being given extra time off to find a new club United have yet to find a new club for Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia or Alejandro Garnacho.
Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans all saw their contracts end, with the latter taking on a coaching role with the club. There is still plenty of work to be done in order to transform Amorim's side after they finished 15th in the Premier League last term.
Mirror Football takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding Old Trafford.

Gyokeres loan
Viktor Gyokeres will reportedly look for a loan move this summer should Arsenal fail to agree a deal for him. The Gunners are said to have reached an impasse with Sporting CP and are willing to walk away from a deal.
But the ex-Coventry striker, who has been linked to Manchester United, remains adamant he will not play for the Portuguese side again after threatening to strike rather than return to pre-season training. Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce side are reported to be among the teams keeping tabs on the situation. Juventus are also monitoring Gyokeres' prospects as they look to add a striker.
Free agent?
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic could be available for free this summer with the Serie A side poised to offer the Serbian a deal to terminate his contract. The striker, who has been linked to Manchester United amid Juve's reported interest in Jadon Sancho and Rasmus Hojlund, appears to have no future with the Old Lady.
Vlahovic, 25 has continued to be linked with a move to England despite joining the Itailian giants ahead of Arsenal. Transfer talk has intensified this summer as the forward enters the final 12 months of his contract.
Reports in Italy claim that Vlahovic will not entertain talks of a contract extension and it is claimed he would even be prepared to sit out of the entire 2025/26 campaign to rake in his €12m (£10.3m) salary. It now appears all but certain Vlahovic will leave Turin in the coming weeks as Juventus prepare to make Vlahovic an offer to rip up his contract.
United confident of meeting Mbeumo deadline
Manchester United are optimistic of agreeing a deal with Brentford to sign Bryan Mbeumo in time for the club's pre-season tour of the United States, report Sky Sports. Ruben Amorim wants his squad ready in time for the trip in order to integrate new players and ensure everyone is up to speed heading into the season.
The Red Devils begin their time in the USA with a match against West Ham in New Jersey on July 26. There is said to be 'cautious optimism' at Old Trafford that a deal will get over the line.
The clubs still have a gap in their valuation of the player with work in particular to be done on the structure of the deal. The Bees want a £65m transfer fee which United are said not to be far off, but the west London side want the majority of the fee to be paid up front.

Man Utd told to sign £34m ex-Chelsea star who could be forced out due to Brexit
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim wants to sign a new midfielder this summer and the Red Devils have been urged to make a move for Atletico Madrid's Conor Gallagher Manchester United have been urged to sign former Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher this summer. United are hoping to bounce back from their worst Premier League campaign this season, having finished 15th last season. They have already signed Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon and are set to complete a deal for Bryan Mbeumo, but Mirror Football understands that Ruben Amorim also want to sign a new midfielder after admitting it is an area of concern. Speaking after United's 0-0 draw with Leeds United in pre-season, Amorim said: "The gaps between our sectors was sometimes too big. We have a lack of pace, especially in the middle of the park and you can feel it is hard to win and bring the ball. But we created chances." And former United midfielder Gordon Strachan believes Gallagher would be an excellent addition. "Man Utd don't need a bit more bite, they need legs, real legs, real closing down," Strachan told OLBG. "Can Conor Gallagher do that? Yes he can, he's definitely got legs, he's a good teammate. Has he got enough imagination? I don't know, but if you have people like that with legs in there and have imagination around them, then he'd be a good signing. "The days of the luxury player, if you want to be a top side, are gone. So, Conor Gallagher has definitely got the legs. He's got the robustness. Has he got goals? "Has he got that flair? These players are hard to come by. Would I take him compared to some of the players that have played over the last couple of years at Man Utd? Yes, I would." Gallagher came though Chelsea's academy and left the club in 2024, joining Atletico Madrid in a £34million deal. The midfielder enjoyed an impressive first season in Spain, where he was one of three non-EU players alongside Samuel Lino and Nahuel Molina. Spanish clubs are only allowed to have three players without EU citizenship in their squad and Thiago Almada's move from Botafogo this summer means they now have four. As a result, Spanish outlet COPE are reporting that one of Gallagher, Lino and Molina will depart. Atletico have already had a busy summer, signing Almada, Clement Lenglet, Juan Musso, Matteo Ruggeri, Alex Baena and Johnny Cardoso and selling Rodrigo Riquelme and Angel Correa. Cesar Azpilicueta, Axel Witsel and Reinildo Mandava have also left after their contracts expired.

BREAKING NEWS Revealed: How Ruben Amorim's 'disappointing' handling of one Man United star 'completely shut the door on beating Arsenal to Viktor Gyokeres' as snub emerges before £62.4m transfer
Ruben Amorim 's handling of a Manchester United star blew any chances the Red Devils had of signing Viktor Gyokeres, according to reports. Gyokeres, 27, has been linked with a move from Sporting Lisbon for much of the transfer window with Arsenal currently in pole position for his signature. According to Portuguese outlet Record, Gyokeres was upset with the manner in which Amorim jettisoned his Swedish compatriot Victor Lindelof. The two players share the same agent in Turkish businessman Hasan Cetinkaya, with Lindelof said to have maintained a desire to remain at Old Trafford had he been offered a new deal by the club. Cetinkaya was also allegedly angered by Amorim's treatment of the centre-back given that he persuaded Gyokeres to work under the current United boss at Sporting. Gyokeres chose the Portuguese side despite offers from eight Premier League clubs claimed to have been interested in him in the summer of 2023.

India enjoy ‘epic crossover' with visit to Man Utd
The Red Devils opened pre-season with a 0-0 draw against Leeds on Saturday in Stockholm and welcomed some special guests to the training ground the following morning. India are in town ahead of the key fourth Test against England getting under way at Emirates Old Trafford on Wednesday, with their players and staff mixing with United counterparts at Carrington. An epic crossover 🔝 Indian Cricket Team 🤝🏻 Manchester United#TeamIndia | @ManUtd — BCCI (@BCCI) July 21, 2025 The Board of Control for Cricket in India called it 'an epic crossover' in a post on X, which showed their team and the hosts mingling in one another's shirts with personalised names. India captain Shubman Gill said: 'It's very exciting to be able to meet top athletes in the world from another sport, to get to know their stories is very inspiring. 'You're playing two different sports, but the mindset that you play with is most of the times very similar.' Gill spoke with United skipper Bruno Fernandes about their respective roles, while head coach Gautam Gambhir chatted to counterpart Ruben Amorim. 'It was a nice interaction – what his ideology is towards team sport and what my ideology is towards team sport,' Gambhir said. 'The basic foundation of a team sport is very similar, where I feel that I think it's the players that adapt to what the team needs rather than the team that adapts to a certain individual. 'That is the culture which we want to build.' Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav seemed to particularly enjoy the experience and picked Amorim's brains about his approach for the new season. 'I was looking forward to talking to Ruben,' he said. 'I've been following him from Sporting. 'I asked him few questions about the tactics, whether they're going to stick with the 3-4-3 this season. Sharing football knowledge with the man who's redefining the game🙌🏻 #RubenAmorim — Kuldeep yadav (@imkuldeep18) July 20, 2025 'I had a chance to chat to Casemiro about how I admire him as a player and, yeah, it was very nice.' Yadav later posted a picture of him with the Portuguese on X with the caption: 'Sharing football knowledge with the man who's redefining the game.' India arrive in Manchester trailing England 2-1 in the five-Test series, while United head to the United States for their pre-season tour on Tuesday.
