Man Utd’s Quest for a Goal Machine Fizzles Out…
It looks like Manchester United fans dreaming of Viktor Gyokeres riding into Old Trafford on a rainbow-colored unicorn will have to keep dreaming! The Swedish striker, who’s been kicking goals like a horse kicks tin cans, has slammed the brakes on his rumoured transfer to United. Having scored an otherworldly 54 goals in just 52 games, Gyokeres has folks from Arsenal to Chelsea and even Liverpool whistling his tune, though no one’s secured his golden boot yet. And, like a seagull ignoring seasoned chips, United’s chances seem to have flown the coop, according to the latest cryptic oracles from Sky Germany’s football whisperer, Florian Plettenberg.
Man Utd, finishing in the gloriously fateful 15th spot, is licking its wounds after not getting any European football next season. The Europa League glories melted away like an ice cream in a microwave after toasty Triberts from Tottenham ensured they thudded to earth. But fret not, Red Devils disciples, because United’s eyes have now set their sights on Matheus Cunha, the Wolves’ own Brazilian Pele-wannabe who’s got a release clause thumping like a ÂŁ62.5 million samba drum.
With Fabrizio Romano translating the football runes, it seems United’s signed a verbal pact with Cunha, promising him gigs at the Theatre of Dreams for five years, with an optional encore. The club’s got a shopping list longer than a giraffe’s scarf, with Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap also in their fantastical eyeline. United’s got their eyes on over four signings this summer, assembling a squad meant to give even the most stubborn footballing pessimist a reason to dream big… or at least bigger than 15th place.
