According to reports, Ruben Amorim of Manchester United is eager to bolster his team during the January transfer window as the team approaches the relegation zone.
According to reports, Amorim told Manchester United executives that he needed to sign Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres now rather than waiting until the summer.
Amid the club’s recent troubles, the Sporting Lisbon forward has been linked to a move to Old Trafford after achieving incredible scoring feats under the Red Devils manager at the Portuguese powerhouse.
Joshua Zirkzee and Marcus Rashford may both depart United during the January transfer window.
The Daily Star claims that Viktor Gyokeres will be acquired by the Portuguese this month.
Under the Portuguese manager’s leadership, the player rose to become one of Europe’s most lethal shooters at Sporting Lisbon.
The 26-year-old previously signed a £20 million contract to leave Championship team Coventry after the team lost to Luton in the second division play-off final last year.
But because of a release clause in his contract, a move to Old Trafford would cost the team about £80 million.
Since Ruben Amorim was hired in November, Manchester United has struggled this season.
In order to make additions in January, the team must first offload players.
The team is in dire need of wing backs to fit Amorim’s 3-4-3 system in addition to attacking positions.
Amorim had previously denied rumors that he would raid his old team in the near future for Gyokeres, but the gravity of United’s predicament might have caused him to reconsider.
Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, who hasn’t played since the beginning of December, lead the team in goals scored this season with four each.
