Slot has already brought in Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, with Milos Kerkez predicted to be a third summer signing.

Gyokeres has had a prolific two years in Portugal, scoring just under 100 goals.

The Portuguese manager worked with Gyokeres at Sporting and helped him flourish - but the problem for United is they cannot offer Gyokeres Champions League action.

However, the player's standoff with the club hierarchy over alleged demands exceeding previously discussed terms has muddled his potential departure.
