The Swede has been in exceptional form for the Portuguese champions and he has already netted 63 goals in just 66 appearances in all competitions.

Gyokeres has 23 goals from 17 outings in the current campaign and he recently made the headlines with a hat-trick versus Manchester City.

The Times report that he can leave the club for around £63m at the end of the season, but there are doubts whether United can prise him away.

With the club's stunted progress over the past few years, Gyokeres could lean towards joining other elite teams capable of winning league titles.

Arsenal and Liverpool could be among front-runners to land the former Brighton & Hove Albion man. Chelsea are keeping tabs on him.

The Blues face a similar situation as United. Both teams may need to qualify for the Champions League to try and change Gyokeres' stance.
