Manchester United have been handed hope over Viktor Gyokeres after the latest update in negotiations between Arsenal and Sporting Clube de Portugal.

The desire of the Gyokeres camp to leave has created tension and made it much more difficult for Sporting to keep him. Club president Frederico Varandas has been irritated by how the situation has been conducted - if not necessarily by the player himself - especially since Sporting have let it be known they won't stand in his way.
