It’s no secret that Manchester United are far below the high standards set for themselves this season, and they currently occupy the lower half of the Premier League.
The Red Devils are set to tally the lowest points and finish in the league in the Premier League era, and if boss Reuben Amorim succeeds at Old Trafford, they will need to make changes again next year.
The forward line certainly contributed to recent failures, scoring just 42 goals on 36 outings, while Bruno Fernandez scored his current top scorer with just eight goals.
Strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have highlighted the lack of offensive threats within their current team, only able to find the back of the net seven times between them.
However, the hand boss Amorim in the upcoming transfer window is a great opportunity to improve the situation as a new charm needs to be at the top of his list this summer.
I’m looking for a new United striker this summer.
With the rapidly on the horizon transfer windows, United have already wasteful time pursuing potential targets to enhance the options available to managers.
Liam Delap, Matheus Cunha, Victor Osimhen and others are all advertised in the summer switch to Old Trafford, but no transactions have been completed for any of the aforementioned trio.
However, according to CatedOffside, another name was entered in the form of CP Viktor Gyoker’s sports, where there could be a reunion on the card with Amorim.
The report claims that the Red Devils are preparing a Swedish international offer for the 26-year-old, who was able to register an astounding 52 goals in 50 appearances throughout 2024/25.
They also confirm that Arsenal and Liverpool are in the race signing this window. The hierarchy must work tirelessly so that he doesn’t miss out on the rivals of the department.
Why United’s latest targets are perfect alongside Amado
Next week’s Europa League final will consolidate the perfect opportunity to end the season, securing a position in the 2025/26 Champions League.
The Amorim side should be fully focused on such occasions. Especially considering that there is no longer anything to play in the Premier League.
If they are to defeat Tottenham Hotspur for the first time this season and claim Europe’s glory, then Amado Diallo is a key reason.
He combined 18 goals to register in all competitions despite missing out on much of the year through ankle issues requiring surgery.
However, he is ready to return and act, and as seen in his contributions throughout 2024/25, the 22-year-old is expected to fear any opposition.
If he switches to Old Trafford, such numbers could fall into Gyoker’s hands completely.
The Swedes, labelled “one of Europe’s best strikers” by Fabrizio Romano, was able to register 4.4 shots per 90.

He also creates 2.1 chances per 90 so far along with a 52% air success rate, allowing Amad to increase his tally.
It’s unclear that the Red Devils are set to bid on his services this summer, but that’s an astonishing business that sees Talisman linking with his former boss.
Given the interest elsewhere, the hierarchy must jump in front of the opposition and make him the number one target. Gyoker thrives in the Premier League and has the tools to bring the club back to where it belongs.
