Manchester United are reportedly in the lead in signing England international Anthony Gordon this summer if Newcastle United opt to cash in on the former Everton striker, according to reporting by TeamTalk, but he will cost quite a bit of money.
Gordon, 24, has emerged as one of Newcastle United’s standouts since joining from Everton in January 2023. The left winger was a key attacking threat for the Magpies. He racked up double-figure goals and assists in the Premier League and earned international recognition with England.
Manchester UnitedInterest in the winger has resurfaced in recent weeks, with several media outlets suggesting that Old Trafford could be his destination if Newcastle decide to entertain offers.
Reports suggest that Man United are currently “in pole position” in the race for Gordon, ahead of rival Premier League clubs including Liverpool. Sources close to the discussions claim that Newcastle would only consider selling Gordon for a bid of between £75m and £85m – a valuation that reflects the player’s status as one of the most prolific wide forwards in the league.
However, Newcastle United are not expected to make a decision lightly. The club recently awarded Gordon a long-term contract until 2030, underscoring its intention to build around him as part of Eddie Howe’s long-term strategy.
With the winger tied down to a long-term deal, Newcastle have significant leverage in negotiations and are likely to demand a substantial fee that reflects his importance to the squad.
Should Manchester United If they look to cement their interest this summer and match Newcastle’s valuation, the winger could find himself at the center of transfer talks again.
For Manchester UnitedSecuring a player of Gordon’s profile would boost their attacking options as they look to maintain their competitiveness in domestic and European competitions. Whether they proceed with a formal offer will depend on negotiations with Newcastle, financial considerations and the club’s recruitment strategy heading into the summer.
No official bids have been confirmed and both clubs are expected to assess their positions as the campaign progresses. Further developments are expected as summer transfer window speculation continues.
BOWEN MESSAGE SENT
Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has urged the club to consider Jarrod Bowen as a transfer target this summer as speculation mounts over how the Red Devils could strengthen their attacking options in the summer.
Bowen, the West Ham United captain and established England international, has been described by Parker as a “decent player” who could add depth to United’s wide attacking options – even if he might not immediately displace the established players at Old Trafford.
While Parker acknowledged that Bowen may not be the transformative signing some fans crave, he suggested the 29-year-old’s experience and Premier League know-how could still be valuable to a Manchester United team that wants to balance youth and experience.
The Hammers striker has been West Ham’s talisman in recent seasons, known for his work rate, goal threat and leadership on the pitch, which has made him one of the most consistent English strikers in the Premier League.
While Bowen’s return this season has been affected by West Ham’s wider struggles, his overall quality and adaptability continues to attract the attention of clubs across the division, he said. bettingX: “I think Jarrod Bowen is a decent player, but I don’t think he is what Man United need. I also think he has dropped in terms of level, but he is still very important for West Ham.”
“Would I be extremely angry if the club brought him in as a squad player? Probably not, but he would never be a starter and I think he should be a starter. He always has been and he is not an impact player per se. He is a player who likes to be involved in the game from start to finish.”
‘I like him, but he wouldn’t get better Manchester United. He is the type of player with a ceiling and in my opinion he has reached that ceiling.
‘He won’t improve much with the better players around him and he’s no better than what we have.’
UNITED TOLD GUIMARAES TO SIGN
Manchester United have been urged to raid Premier League rivals Newcastle United and sign Bruno Guimaraes to replace the outgoing Casemiro when the summer transfer window opens in just a few months’ time.
Casemiro perhaps experiences his best spell there Manchester United shirt, but the Brazilian has already admitted he will leave the club at the end of the season, with a number of clubs reportedly interested in offering him a free transfer.
Signed from Newcastle for £42million in 2022, Guimaraes has become a crucial player for Eddie Howe’s side and has really developed into one of the best midfielders in the Premier League in recent seasons.
The 28-year-old has provided nine goals and four assists in the Premier League this season but is out of contract in June 2028 and former Red Devils striker Louis Saha believes Guimaraes could be the ideal, ready-made replacement for Casemiro in central midfield.
“I have always been a big fan and defender of Casemiro,” Saha said AceOdds.
‘He was asked to do one role too many over the last two years, but that has been scrapped and now he has settled in and his role has been defined. He has proven himself to be a world-class player and I understand why the fans want him to stay.
‘United need aggressiveness and someone to dictate the midfield. I see someone who looks more like it [Sandro] Tonali or [Bruno] Guimaraes, two monsters in midfield.
‘With players like [Kobbie] Mainoo, you need someone next to him who has the experience and vision to guide the transition when Casemiro leaves. You need that experience, directness and decisiveness. It will be difficult to replace.
‘If you bring in a young player it is a disruption. It’s great for the future, but you need experience. If Casemiro goes, I’m thinking of a combination of [Adam] Wharton and Guimaraes would be great because Guimaraes is more of a captain.”
