Manchester United's possible new Gaffer looks set to sign Viktor Gyokeres

Manchester United is considering a strategic signing of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, potentially targeting a transfer in either January or next summer.

In a surprising turn of events, Erik ten Hag has parted ways with the club, and Ruud van Nistelrooy has stepped in as the interim coach. 

Additionally, there are ongoing discussions about appointing Ruben Amorim, the current manager of Sporting Lisbon, which could lead to exciting new developments for the team.

Ruben Amorim is the potential next Gaffer for the Red Devils 

Recent reports indicate that the 39-year-old coach has tentatively agreed to a deal with United, signalling his willingness to take on the role. The final step is to finalize the compensation agreement between Sporting and United.

As the Red Devils currently sit in 14th place, having scored only eight goals in nine Premier League matches, there will be several challenges for Amorim to address should he officially take the helm at Old Trafford. His leadership will be crucial in revitalizing the team's performance and securing better results in the league.

Victor Gyokeres may be Ruben's first signing 

According to the Manchester Evening News, Ruben Amorim might be gearing up to make his first signing as Manchester United manager from his current team. There has been notable interest in Viktor Gyokeres, a player he is quite familiar with. Gyokeres has been a subject of transfer speculation for some time, with Arsenal showing interest last summer and in January earlier this year. This potential signing could prove to be a strategic move for Amorim as he establishes his vision for the club. Gyokeres has scored an impressive 57 goals in 64 appearances for Sporting CP under the guidance of Ruben Amorim.

The paper asserts that the in-form striker has a release clause set at £83.4 million (€100 million), meaning the club must sell players before pursuing the Swedish international.

Amorim will likely prioritize reuniting with Gyokeres in 2025 when it comes to new signings. The sensational striker has previously been linked to United, and reports indicate that former manager Ten Hag intended to bring him in; however, the Red Devils chose to sign Joshua Zirkzee instead.
