Viktor Gyokeres Breaks Silence On Man United’s Rumoured Links

Ruben Amorim now wants Manchester United to sign a new striker. He has earmarked a “world-class” alternative to Viktor Gyokeres as the potential man to fit the bill at Old Trafford, according to a report.

Despite having bought a striker in each of the last two summer transfer windows, Manchester United are in desperate need of a new no.9. So far, they have managed just 12 goals in 11 Premier League games, the joint fourth worst in the division alongside newly promoted Ipswich Town.

Of those goals, Rasmus Hojlund has managed just one, while summer addition Joshua Zirkzee also has just one to his name, coming on his debut against Fulham on the opening night of the season.

The lack of chances created for strikers is certainly a problem that Amorim will have to tackle upon his arrival at Old Trafford, but United continue to lack a good striker capable of taking them back towards the European spots, with both Hojlund and Zirkzee long-term projects who the club cannot afford to waste too much time on.

With Amorim having joined the club from Sporting CP, and in-form striker Viktor Gyokeres free to leave in the summer after his price dropped to just £63m, all logic points toward the Red Devils moving to sign the Swedish forward at the end of the campaign.

Viktor Gyokeres has now responded to rumours about joining former manager Ruben Amorim at United next summer.

Viktor Gyökeres on potentially joining Ruben Amorim at Manchester United:

“He [Amorim] probably has some strikers there already, so we’ll see.”

Gyokeres hasn’t ruled out the possibility of wearing the red shirt next summer, with fans eagerly awaiting his arrival at the club.
