Manchester United are making a shock move to sign a free agent after accepting defeat in the Viktor Gyokeres transfer saga.
Man United have recruited Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon this summer and remain in the market for new players ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Bryan Mbeumo is on Ruben Amorim's radar, with Man United yet to reach a deal with Brentford, who rejected an improved bid worth £62.5 million last month.
A new No.9 is also high on Amorim's transfer wish-list following the form of Rasmus Hojlund, who struggled in front of goal last season.

Hojlund, who cost £72 million from Atalanta in the summer of 2023, scored just four league goals as he had a difficult campaign.
Man United had looked at Gyokeres following his prolific form at Sporting CP, where he has bagged 97 goals in 102 matches since signing from Coventry City.
Gyokeres worked with Amorim, who was hoping to reunite with him at Old Trafford.

But the Swede is angling for a move to Arsenal, having turned down two lucrative offers.
He wants to move to the Emirates, with sporting director Andrea Berta thought to be leading discussions.

That's according to The Sun, who claim the Red Devils have reached out to the 28-year-old about the possibility of a surprise move this summer.
Calvert-Lewin is available on a free transfer after being released this week.
His contract at Everton expired, bringing an end to his nine-year spell.

Per the report, Man United believe Calvert-Lewin has the qualities they lack.
They could offer him a lucrative contract, including bonuses for appearances.
Calvert-Lewin scored 57 league goals for Everton during his time at the club.
He scored an impressive 16 goals in 33 games in the 2020/21 term and was in-demand following his performances.

But he netted just three goals last season in an injury-hit campaign.
