Not Cunha or Delap: Sky Sports confirm ‘concrete talks’ have taken place between Utd and 64 G/A tornado

While Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap remain firmly cemented atop Manchester United’s shortlist this summer, that’s not to say there aren’t other targets being pursued behind the scenes.

In terms of the suitors, the 26-year-old could potentially choose from, all of Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have emerged as candidates to seal his signature – as well as the Red Devils.

Premier League-proven Delap is thought to be INEOS’ first-choice to rival Rasmus Hojlund for the starting spot up front, but United aren’t down and out in their pursuit of Gyokeres just yet.

Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg claims that while there’s ‘no agreement’ in place between him and the Reds, ‘concrete talks’ have taken place and Ruben Amorim is ‘very keen on him’.

The ex-Coventry City star played 68 matches under Amorim in Lisbon, scoring 66 goals and assisting a further 19.
