Man United board to complete ‘amazing’ signing of top transfer target

Manchester United have been told to bite the bullet and bring Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres to Old Trafford, as he would be an amazing signing for the club.

Over the past few transfer windows, the Manchester United board have backed the manager and spent some insane money, but the players that have been brought to the club have not improved the side enough to close the gap on the top three or four teams.

Ruben Amorim is now in charge of the club after the sacking of Erik Ten Hag and there has been alot of speculation in the media that the club will look to raid his former club and bring striker Gyokeres to the Premier League.

Now, Speaking to BonusCodeBets.co.uk, Paul Parker urged United to bite the bullet and sign Viktor Gyokeres. The former Red Devil said: “I think it would be amazing if Man United can sign Gyokeres.

“In my opinion, it would be one of the best possible signings and maybe one of the best signings in recent times in the Premier League. He knows how Amorim wants to play and vice versa.

“He would be the perfect addition, and also add some competition to Højlund who really needs it, because he hasn’t shown enough yet. Gyokeres would be a top striker in the Premier League.”

However, Viktor Gyokeres has played down speculation that he will leave Sporting to join United in the January transfer window. Speaking to Swedish outlet Fotbollskanalen, as quoted by ESPN, the striker said: “It’s not something I think about, nor something I care about.

“These are rumours, nothing concrete. Of course I want to finish the season at Sporting, I enjoy my time there. I don’t feel stressed about making a change in the future. We’ll see when the time comes.”

Gyokeres added: “He [Amorim] probably already has strikers there. It’s very sad that he left [Sporting], but of course we understand the decision. He meant a lot to me, as he gave me an opportunity and helped me evolve a lot. Now we are looking forward to working with the new coach [João Pereira].”
