Manchester United fought for a long time to bring Viktor Gyökeres to Old Trafford and mentor Ruben Amorim, but seem to have lost to Arsenal, who now have the Swede’s thumbs up and Sporting on the slide in negotiations. This is especially annoying when they hear the goal guarantor tell how perfect the Amorim football is for him to bucket in with goals.
In an interview with France Football, the Swede talks about his time at Sporting under Ruben Amorim, where he was brought in as a highly underrated striker on the ball island, first at Brighton, Swansea (loan), then Coventry (loan, then permanently).

“It’s been very good since day one. I’ve developed a lot here with the team, and we have a lot of good memories together. We won two league championships in a row, for the first time in 71 years. It’s an incredible feat. Rúben Amorim of course played a big role in this, because he was the one who really wanted me here. The style of play we had under him suited me very well. I can’t thank him enough,” Gyökeres told the French newspaper.
The Swede scored 70+ goals in two seasons under Ruben Amorim in a style of play that suited the power forward perfectly. Manchester United fans have every reason to be disappointed when Amorim’s favourite striker steers clear of Old Trafford and pulls on the Arsenal shirt.
