Ruben Amorim told £85M Manchester United target ‘ready for Premier League’

Anders Limpar has told the likes of Manchester United that Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres has the ability to cope with the pressures of playing in the Premier League and believes that it is the next step for the big striker

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 former Arsenal and Sweden midfielder Limpar hopes to see his fellow countryman playing in the Premier League and is confident Gyokeres could make the transition into English football based on his recent heroics against Manchester City and his previous spell with Coventry City.

He added: ‘We have to remember that the Portuguese league is inferior to the Premier League, but when Manchester City came to visit Lisbon, he scored a hat-trick, so he’s fully capable of scoring in England.

‘He has played for Coventry and scored goals, he knows the English mentality.

‘I think his next step is to play in the Premier League and he can really choose which team he wants to play in.’

Gyokeres has constantly thanked Ruben Amorim for helping him develop into a top striker at Sporting, and he was very sad to see the boss leave. But we are sure that if Manchester United wanted to get a deal done the striker will be more than interested in a move.

But it will come down to money.
