summer transfer window, and he&#8217;s now a priority target for the Red Devils, according to Sports Boom.<\/p>\n<p>It could be a busy window approaching for United, who will be forced to tackle bringing in new additions within the playing squad alongside identifying a new manager. <\/p>\n<p>The Manchester club have seen an upturn in form under Carrick, but they&#8217;ll still be hoping to have a busy summer to get back amongst Europe&#8217;s elite clubs. <\/p>\n<p>There could be an argument to suggest that United don&#8217;t need too many additions when the market opens, considering their upturn in form, but they&#8217;ll be desperate to go to the next level after a difficult few years.<\/p>\n<p>                        Man Utd Preparing \u00a380m Bid<\/p>\n<p>        <img

transfer window, and an offer for Gordon is now being prepared. <\/p>\n<p>The England international, <a

football&#8217;<\/a>, 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. <\/p>\n<p>Gordon enjoyed a phenomenal first season at St James&#8217; Park, contributing double figures for both goals and assists in the Premier League, but he&#8217;s not been the same player since then.<\/p>\n<p>        <img

Newcastle, but over the last two seasons, those days haven&#8217;t come as often as Howe will have hoped.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a380m is a significant sum to pay for a forward who is struggling to find the back of the net, and there&#8217;s no doubt United could do better for that sum of money. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s an argument to suggest that United already have two players, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, who are more consistent options to play out wide. <\/p>\n<p>                        How Much is Gordon Worth?<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Newcastle United's Anthony

market.<\/p>\n<p>                                        Estimated market value: ~\u00a375m\u2013\u00a390m in today\u2019s Premier League market.<\/p>\n<p>                                        Newcastle asking price: reportedly closer to \u00a390m\u2013\u00a3100m, reflecting contract length and importance.<\/p>\n<p>                                        Market drivers: English tax, age (24\u201325), Premier League-proven winger with high work rate and pressing output.<\/p>\n<p>                                        Role versatility: primarily LW but capable centrally or across the front line, increasing squad value.<\/p>\n<p>                                        Contract leverage: long-term deal to around 2029\u20132030 gives Newcastle strong negotiating power.<\/p>\n<p>                                        Realistic sale price: likely \u00a380m\u2013\u00a395m if multiple top-six clubs bid.<\/p>\n<p>                                        My valuation: roughly \u00a385m \u2014 premium but below elite wingers like Saka-tier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are preparing an \u00a380m bid to sign Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon
