When Manchester United man Rúben Amorim said goodbye to Sporting in early November, he made the promise that no one would join him in the Premier League until the summer at the earliest.
Amorim told A Bola: “I don’t want to sign any Sporting player to Manchester United in January. But what will happen in the summer, I don’t know”
Manchester United are in 14th place in the Premier League with only 22 points after 19 games.
You only have to look at the colour on the Portuguese manager’s face to see where it wasn’t. – He came from huge success with Sporting in both the Primeira league and in the Champions League to being at the helm of what is so far the worst Manchester United season ever. When Manchester United were relegated in the 1973-74 season, they were in a better position at the same time than they are now.
Correio da Manhã reports that Rúben Amorim will have to go for Viktor Gyökeres if there is to be any chance of saving the rest of the season and, indeed, avoiding relegation.
Correio da Manhã writes on the front page: “The hunt for Viktor Gyökeres begins”
The Portuguese newspaper, CdM, emphasizes that Man United are not the only interested parties in Gyökere’s services, so it will be a tough battle for his signature.
