Following a remarkable 4-1 victory by Sporting Lisbon over Manchester City, Ruben Amorim addressed rumors about potentially bringing star striker Viktor Gyökeres to Manchester United. Gyökeres, who scored a hat-trick in the match, has been a standout performer, catching the attention of fans and analysts alike. But when Amorim was asked about the possibility of reuniting with Gyökeres at United, he firmly denied any current interest.
According to CentreDevils via X, Amorim responded with humor but also a clear message: "No, no, no, no! I cannot be funny with that in this moment. It was tough for me to leave. If I start to joke about that with Gyökeres then I have problems." He emphasized his respect for Sporting Lisbon, saying, "This is my city, this is my country," and that Gyökeres should stay at Sporting until the end of the season.
Gyökeres has been in superb form this season. With his latest performance, he continues to strengthen his reputation as a top striker. Against City, he displayed his ability to finish under pressure, scoring three goals and demonstrating the talent that has made him a crucial asset for Sporting. According to official stats, he has been consistently productive in front of the goal, adding a potent option to Sporting's attacking lineup.
While many United fans would welcome a player like Gyökeres, Amorim's response underscores his loyalty to Sporting and to Lisbon. His tone suggested that, despite his move to United, he holds deep respect for his former club. It's clear he wants Gyökeres to focus on his season in Portugal rather than entertaining any transfer speculation.
For now, United will need to rely on their existing roster. As for Gyökeres, he remains one to watch, especially if he continues to perform at such a high level in both domestic and international competitions.
