Manchester United will reportedly look to sign 24-year-old English international Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Anthony Gordon is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a wide attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 24-year-old Newcastle United winger has emerged as a target for them.
The Englishman is also a target for Liverpool, with the Reds scouring the market for a left winger heading into the summer transfer window. However, Manchester United will aim to win the battle for Gordon’s signature by submitting a bid worth €100 million in the coming months.
How has Anthony Gordon fared at Newcastle United so far?
Anthony Gordon has established himself as one of the most promising young wingers in the Premier League since joining Newcastle United from Everton in a deal worth €40 million in January 2023. A native of Liverpool, the 24-year-old spent his formative years in his hometown and graduated from the youth division at Everton.
The English international has made considerable progress at Newcastle United, making nearly 150 appearances for Newcastle United thus far while chipping in with 32 goals and 28 assists. Meanwhile, Gordon’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, have been keen on signing the former Everton winger, with Liverpool and Manchester United interested in him.
What next?
Liverpool’s interest in Anthony Gordon makes sense. The Reds are scouring the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window, as Arne Slot wants more quality from the flanks. Additionally, Mohamed Salah faces an uncertain future at Anfield, prompting Liverpool to explore the market for a winger.
As for Manchester United, the Red Devils are keen on adding more quality to their offensive unit as they prepare to return to European football next season. Another left winger can bolster Manchester United’s attack, and Gordon has emerged as a viable target for them.
The latest report has revealed that they are ready to submit a bid worth €100 million to secure the 24-year-old Englishman’s signature ahead of Liverpool. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Gordon and if Newcastle United will be ready to sell him for €100 million this summer.
