MANCHESTER UNITED have a new striker target after being rejected by Viktor Gyokeres.
The Sporting star was United’s No1 priority this summer but the deal is dead following talks this week.

Gyokeres was not happy with the Red Devils’ offer and now wants to move to Arsenal instead.
United are still in need of a striker and will now turn their attention to Victor Osimhen.
The in-demand striker scored 32 goals in 37 games on loan at Galatasaray last season, and the Turkish side are keen to make his stay permanent.
So far, though, no deal has been agreed, with Osimhen seemingly ready to consider all his options – including a potential move to the Premier League.
Saudi Arabian clubs are interested and would be able to afford his £500,000-a-week wage demands.
That could prove a stumbling bloke for United however, and player sales would have to happen to get a deal for Osimhen over the line.
It is understood the Nigerian could be available for £65million.
And he was said to be open to a move to Old Trafford.

United are also in danger of missing out on another top target – Bryan Mbeumo.
The winger was said to have decided on moving to United but that was before Tottenham appointed Thomas Frank.
Spurs have held initial talks with Brentford and could hijack United’s £60m move for the Cameroonian.
