On Boxing Day, Manchester United finally scored a goal after going down two goals. They came back to beat high-flying Aston Villa 3-2 in the Premier League.

Rafa Hojlund finally scored in the English Premier League on Tuesday, after not having done so in a while. This helped his team win all three points.

Erik ten Hag, the manager, will be happy with his attacks, but he knew this season that putting too much pressure on the young Dane would be bad.

Needs ammunition up front

He asked for another striker but was told to get by with Anthony Martial instead, who has since let the boss down.

The French player’s deal is up next summer, so he’s been linked with a move away in January. If that happens, the club plans to bring in a replacement.

Youssef En-Nesyri, Serhou Guirassy, and Benjamin Sesko have all been mentioned with a move to Old Trafford. Now, newspaper Correio da Manhã (via Sport Witness) has added another name to the list.

Viktor Gyokeres has had a great start to life in Portugal since he came there from Coventry City in the Championship in the summer.

The Swede has started 19 games across all tournaments and scored 17 goals and set up eight others. That’s a goal almost every 93 minutes.

Gyokeres making a splash in Portugal

United is now in the running to sign the 25-year-old player, whose release clause is €100 million and whose Transfermarkt value is €45 million.

Sporting is in first place in Liga Portugal and wants to keep their star because they want to win the title again after two years.

The striker who used to play for Brighton and Hove Albion is said to have recently told Sporting fans that he will stay until the summer. It is believed that a real transfer race will start in the summer.

Because of how much he might cost in January, United is also more likely to be able to sign him next summer, since INEOS will be behind them.
