Just hours after Ruben Amorim signed with Manchester United, Sporting’s top scorer was linked to Old Trafford. Amorim came out early and said there will be no Sporting players at United in the January window. That wasn’t the case either, but Gyökeres is still on the list of candidates before the summer transfer window, where United must and must bring in a striker who delivers 20-30 goals every season.
When Amorim left Sporting, the Portuguese big club went into a vacuum, where the Swedish striker also “stopped scoring”. This turned around after two games. Now the 26-year-old stands with a wild 40 goals in 41 games.
Manchester United are facing several player sales this summer and could also put Kobbie Mainoo up for sale to finance the signing of the super striker, but if we are to believe Portuguese A Bola, Manchester United will have to look far for Gyökeres.
According to the Portuguese media, the Swede has his sights set on Liverpool, Manchester City or Arsenal if there is a Premier League.
It is clear that Gyökeres, with a taste of title games and Champions League games, does not intend to choose a club that is outside of this. Sorry, Amorim.
