"According to a report from Sports Boom, Newcastle winger Gordon has been identified as a priority target for Manchester United, and they are set to make an £80m bid to secure his signature. Carrick, who wants the United job on a permanent basis, is hoping to bring in another winger in the summer transfer window, and an offer for Gordon is now being prepared."
"The England international, described as 'the fastest man in football', has endured a difficult season, with Eddie Howe deploying him as a winger and through the middle of the attack to try and get the best out of him. Gordon enjoyed a phenomenal first season at St James' Park, contributing double figures for both goals and assists in the Premier League, but he's not been the same player since then."
"The English winger has struggled to find the back of the net in the Premier League, scoring just one non-penalty goal for the Magpies this term. £80m is a significant sum to pay for a forward who is struggling to find the back of the net."
Manchester United is preparing an £80m offer to sign Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon in the upcoming summer transfer window, making him a priority target. Manager Carrick, seeking the permanent role, wants to strengthen the squad with another winger. Gordon, an England international known as 'the fastest man in football,' had an exceptional first season at Newcastle with double-figure goals and assists. However, his form has declined significantly since then, scoring just one non-penalty goal this season. While United have shown improved form recently, they aim to return to European elite status. The substantial £80m fee raises questions given Gordon's recent struggles in front of goal.
