Manchester United have re-entered the race to sign Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres, as manager Ruben Amorim seeks to reunite with his former striker in a bid to revamp the club’s attacking options, according to GiveMeSport.
Having already secured the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves and working towards completing a deal for Brentford’s Bryan Mbuemo, the Red Devils have already started working towards signing a new number nine.
Amorim has seen his attack struggle last season and their failure to win the Europa League as well as their 15th place finish in the Premier League have forced him to consider a move for a prolific attacker.
Ruben Amorim wants Gyokeres at Man United
United are keen on adding Gyokeres to their ranks. The striker’s familiarity with Amorim’s tactical approach and his proven goal-scoring record make him an ideal candidate to lead United’s frontline.
However, the club’s absence from European competitions next season could pose a challenge in convincing Gyokeres to make the move.
The interest in Gyokeres comes after United suffered a setback in their pursuit of Liam Delap, who opted to join Chelsea from Ipswich Town despite holding talks with the Red Devils.
Delap’s decision has prompted a shift in focus at Old Trafford, with the club now actively exploring alternative striker options.
With Gyokeres boasting an exceptional goal-scoring record at Sporting under Amorim’s management, including 54 goals in 52 appearances last season, United see the Swedish international as an ideal fit for the role.
Amorim could convince Gyokeres to move
The existing relationship between player and manager could prove crucial as talks progress.
While no formal bid has yet been submitted, United’s early move signals a growing intention to pursue the in-demand attacker.
The Red Devils have also been linked with a move for Al Hilal attacker Aleksandar Mitrovic who left Fulham to join the Saudi side.

want to hear done deal not dream team or close to. Something positive not LETS HOPE AND PRAY. Over all the negatives let’s just get positive news.
What move exactly?
Manchester United need to sign a striker like Victor Osimen
Sign gokyeres and Man utd is back on track
All these news are just deceiving and misleading. Why don’t you get serious with signings and stop all these nonsense.
Besides Victory Osimhen should better serve United than Viktor Gyokeres. Osimhen has pace, he’s more built for the Prem than Gyokeres. The Prem needs strong people who has overcome some challenges. Osimhen went through a lot in Napoli but has proven doubters wrong by establishing himself at Galatasaray.
Sign gokyeres and Man utd is back on track
surely united should be more serious, best choice should be victor Gokyeres because he knows the style of R Amorim
