As well as Tonali: Reds eyeing Anthony Gordon
Now, however, Ben Jacobs claims that forward Anthony Gordon is catching INEOS’ eye, and has been ‘discussed internally’ by the hierarchy in M16.
He says that the Magpies may be cornered into facilitating a ‘major sale’ of the attacker in the event they fail to qualify for the Champions League. Currently, they sit 10th-placed in the Premier League and nine points adrift of United in fourth.
🚨 Mateus Mané is not a priority target for Manchester United at the moment. Anthony Gordon has been discussed internally and if Newcastle miss out on Champions League qualification, a major sale could be considered in the summer to raise funds.

Everton begrudgingly sold their academy graduate to Newcastle in January 2023 for an initial £40 million. He is now valued at £52.4m by Transfermarkt, though the Tyneside outfit will be demanding considerably more if any negotiations take place.
How Gordon is faring in front of goal
This term, Gordon has struggled to showcase his most prolific form in the league, returning only three goals and two assists in 20 appearances thus far.
He has overseen some scintillating performances in Europe, however. The 24-year-old added a whopping four goals to his tally in Tuesday night’s first-leg play-off away to Qarabag, taking his contributions up to 10 goals and two assists in the UCL.
Different stages, different Gordon. 📊🧐
