Ruben Amorim left his star striker Viktor Gyökeres with 24 goals in 18 games. Since the coach’s exit to Manchester United, the Swede has put in 1 poor goal in 4 games. The battle for Gÿokeres is between Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG, but now there is a strong signal that the 26-year-old has set the course.
Not only has Gyökeres realized Amorim, who now manages Manchester United, is a crucial factor behind his success, the 26-year-old has decided to follow two of his idols. Both ended up at Old Trafford.

-The players who inspire me are Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo, Gyökeres begins in an interview with UEFA.
-Because of the way they behave on the pitch. They went above and beyond what was expected, that’s what impressed me. I want to do similar things on the pitch. In today’s football, you have to be physically strong, have the talent to score goals, communicate and combine well with other teammates. My three biggest strengths are my physical attributes, my finishing and that I’m often in the right place to score,” says the Swedish super striker.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored 145 goals in 346 games in two spells for Manchester United. Zlatan scored 28 goals in his debut season at Old Trafford.
Now Gyökeres will follow in the footsteps of his two idols. The next destination seems to be Old Trafford.
