Gyokeres, meanwhile, offers a more attainable option and has the added advantage of being a familiar figure to Ruben Amorim.
Amorim who of course, who managed him at Sporting CP.
Finally, Liam Delap who has had a breakout season at Ipswich Town despite relegation.
Delap remains on United’s shortlist, as a long-term option deemed not so expensive.
Now, a former Everton striker has emerged as a surprise addition to the shortlist.

Fiorentina hope to keep him and are working on securing Albert Guðmundsson as a backup plan.
While also monitoring other Serie A forwards like Medhi Taremi, Tammy Abraham and Artem Dovbyk.
As for the Red Devils, Kean is now viewed as a strong candidate.
Especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
In which case Gyokeres and Osimhen could become more difficult to land.
United are understood to view the Italian as a more affordable and potentially profitable option.
His name will be heavily discussed once the window opens.
