Man United receive huge transfer boost as Ruben Amorim drops hint on Viktor Gyokeres Old Trafford move -Report

After Viktor Gyokeres scored a hat-trick in Sporting Lisbon’s crushing victory against Manchester City, Amorim gave a major clue as to whether Man United will pursue the striker.

In his penultimate home game before joining Manchester United, the Swede maintained his incredible form under Amorim, leading Sporting to a 4-1 victory.

Gyokeres responded with three goals, including two from the penalty spot, to help spark Sporting’s unexpected victory after Phil Foden had given Man City the lead in the fourth minute.

Due to his excellent goal-scoring ability, the former Brighton and Coventry striker has generated a lot of conversation, and some have even stated that Amorim would try to sign him to Old Trafford.

Now, the Portuguese boss has broken his silence on the matter and revealed when he expects Gyokeres to leave Sporting

Speaking after the match, according to A Bola, Amorim said: ‘If I start joking about this Gyokeres situation I’ll get in trouble.

‘This is my city, this is my country, so I’ll respect it. Viktor has to stay until the end of the season and then his life will probably go somewhere else’.

Though a January move for the Sweden international appears to be off the table, Amorim appeared to hint that he could launch a summer move for Gyokeres

Earlier in the night, United legend Rio Ferdinand tipped Gyokeres to follow Amorim to United after his stunning hat-trick against the Red Devils’ local rivals.

‘The recruitment teams in all the clubs in the Premier League must be scratching their heads about how they let him get away,’ Ferdinand said.

‘He hasn’t had a conventional route, his route to the top hasn’t been straightforward

‘He was at Brighton as a kid, sold to Coventry, went on loan to Swansea, goes back to Coventry and does well, then goes to Sporting Lisbon.

‘He has had a journey where he has had to build himself and create what he is now.
