Ruben Amorim Seeks to Bolster Attack Amid Struggles at Old Trafford
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is pushing for the January signing of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyökeres in an effort to revive the club’s faltering season.
Gyökeres, 26, who has been in fine form since his move to Sporting from Coventry City, could be brought to Old Trafford for his full £80 million release clause. According to reports from The Mirror, a summer deal might come at a reduced price, but Amorim is eager to secure the striker now to address United’s goal-scoring woes.
“Manchester United will try to sign Viktor Gyökeres this month in a bid to save their season,” the report stated. “Amorim had always planned to bring Gyökeres with him from Sporting when he joined United in November, but the initial timeline targeted a summer transfer.”
The January move would require financial backing from the Glazer family, with Sporting reportedly unwilling to negotiate below the striker’s release clause mid-season. A summer departure for Gyökeres might be more affordable, but United’s current struggles could accelerate their plans.
Amorim’s tenure at Old Trafford has been off to a rocky start, with United suffering a series of disappointing results. Securing a proven striker like Gyökeres is seen as critical to stabilizing the team’s performance and climbing the Premier League table.
Whether the deal will be sanctioned remains uncertain, as United’s ability to raise funds through player sales in the winter transfer window will play a crucial role. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the club navigates a pivotal January transfer window.
