Manchester United is making significant efforts to sign a striker to enhance their offensive lineup. Ruben Amorim expressed interest in bringing Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting, but it appeared more likely that the striker would end up at Arsenal.

Recent updates from TEAMtalk indicate that Gyökeres has expressed a preference for joining United, despite competing interest from other teams.

Both Arsenal and Liverpool had been closely linked with him, but TEAMtalk’s Fraser Fletcher learned from sources that the Swedish forward is inclined to choose United.

What Attracts Amorim to Gyökeres for Manchester United?

Amorim has previously worked with Gyökeres at Sporting and enjoys a positive rapport with him. The combination of Gyökeres, along with new arrivals Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, could effectively address United’s scoring challenges.

This season, Gyökeres has been an outstanding performer in Liga Portugal, netting 39 goals in 33 matches in the league. His scoring proficiency is a notable upgrade over Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Højlund, who collectively scored just seven goals in the Premier League this season.

Gyökeres has conveyed to Sporting that he will not play for them again and is attempting to effectuate a transfer. Although he has an £85m release clause, reports suggest that Sporting may allow him to leave for a lower fee.

Given United’s current financial situation, Amorim will aim to secure the most favorable deal possible for Gyökeres. Regardless of the cost, Amorim will be relieved that Gyökeres is keen on joining the club.
