“It will be difficult to get Viktor Gyökeres,” said Ruben Amorim a few days after signing for Manchester United. The difficult thing is not the motivation of the Swedish striker, he can thank Amorim for the resounding success of the last two seasons. It is the price of up to 100 million euros that makes it demanding. On Saturday, Manchester United showed that they mean business.
When Erling Haaland walked off the pitch in Lisbon earlier this month, it was with a penalty miss and zero goals. Fellow striker Gyökeres at Sporting had scored three in what ended with a 4-1 win for Sporting. The Swede stands with an impressive 23 goals in 18 games, on Saturday he was in action for Sweden against Slovakia.

In the stands sat Manchester United’s top scout, Souza, reports The Sun.
Souza got Gyökeres’ goal after three minutes, then an assist to Isak for the game-winning goal. The Sporting striker thus stands with 5 goals in 5 international matches.
With Souza in the stands, Manchester United show that the Swede has a top priority.
