Man Utd ready to win £60m Viktor Gyokeres transfer race as Sir Jim Ratcliffe's brutal cuts start to pay off
Man Utd's U-turn in club finances means they are ready to pip Arsenal for Viktor Gyokeres RED ALERT Man Utd ready to win £60m Viktor Gyokeres transfer race as Sir Jim Ratcliffe's brutal cuts start to pay off Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to win the race for Viktor Gyokeres. The Red Devils recently revealed total operating expenses have dropped by £41.6million to £162.1m in the latest quarterly club accounts after Sir Jim Ratcliffe's brutal cost cutting. 3 Manchester United are ready to win the race for Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres 3 Man Utd minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's cuts are leading to a gradual U-turn in finances 3 Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim is now ready to raid his former club for Gyokeres That is despite the cash spent on the Glazers' debt spiralling to a staggering £1.2BILLION. United's gradual U-turn in club finances means they are ready to pip Arsenal to land Sporting Lisbon striker Gyokeres. The Gunners are keen on the former Coventry hitman, 27, but are also chasing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Sweden striker Gyokeres, who scored 54 goals in 52 games for Sporting last season, has an £85m release clause. But it is understood that the Portuguese side would accept a fee closer to £60m this summer. United boss Ruben Amorim is now ready to raid his former club after the boost in their accounts. Yet the Glazers' debt still casts a long shadow over the fallen giants, whose wage bill was down a huge £20m to £71.2m compared with a year ago. United have now spent an astonishing £1.2bn on the debt in 20 years of the Americans' ownership. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS According to the BBC, £815m in debt interest repayments; £166m in dividends to shareholders; £197m in external net debt repayments and £10m in management and administration fees to the Glazer family companies has left the club since the Glazers bought it in June 2005. Meanwhile, chief executive Omar Berrada warned United must improve after a humiliating season in which they finished 15th in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final against Tottenham. Viktor Gyokeres responds as he is asked if he 'likes London' amid Arsenal transfer links He said: 'We were proud to reach the final of the Europa League but ultimately were disappointed to finish as runner-up in Bilbao. 'We had a difficult season in the Premier League, which fell below our standards, and we have a clear expectation of improvement next season.' United have already agreed to pay £62.5m to land forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves. And they are chasing a £55m deal for Brentford ace Bryan Mbeumo as they attempt to stay within the Prem's Profit and Sustainability Rules. But Amorim will also need to offload a clutch of big-name players from a group including Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Casemiro.

Pret opened its first shop in London in 1986 and now the chain employs 12,500 staff in more than 700 locations PRET STAKE SANDWICH Owner of Pret A Manger plans stock market flotation & may sell stake in business Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE owner of Pret A Manger plans a stock market flotation — and could consider selling a stake in the business first. Luxembourg-based firm Jab Holding bought the sandwich chain for £1.5billion in 2018. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The owner of Pret A Manger plans a stock market flotation — and could consider selling a stake in the business first Credit: Getty But the pandemic saw it post a £343million loss in 2020 as its key customers — office workers and commuters — were kept at home. It then launched cut-priced food and coffee subscription services to lure them back when they returned to the office, which helped sales jump by a fifth in 2023. Pret opened its first shop in London in 1986 and the chain employs 12,500 staff in more than 700 locations across 21 countries. JAB, which also owns Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Keurig Dr Pepper, has ambitions in the insurance and asset management industry and wants to reduce its reliance on the consumer sector.

JAB said: 'As we move closer to a potential IPO, we may evaluate bringing on a pre-IPO investor.' It is the first time the group has publicly confirmed IPO plans for Pret. Ahead of the potential listing, it appointed former Restaurant Brands International chief executive José Cil as chair of Pret last month. Pret's chief executive since 2019 is Pano Christou, who started as an assistant manager in a central London outlet at 22. The minicab driver's son, 45, grew up in Tooting, South London, and now earns more than £400,000 a year.

More than 3,000 outages were reported through services-monitoring site Downdetector. The bank blamed the problem on an update it made the day before and said it was 'working to fix it as quickly as possible'. PAD PRICE DIP THE average UK house price fell by around £1,150 or 0.4 per cent last month, stats from Halifax show. But property values have increased by more than £7,000 on average over the past year. Prices climbed 2.5 per cent in the 12 months to May, but that was a fall from April's annual increase of 3.2 per cent.
