Man United are told NOT to sign Viktor Gyokeres as huge claim made despite scoring 26 goals in 24 games this season!

Man United has received a warning not to sign Viktor Gyokeres, a striker for Sporting.

Gyokeres was formerly dominated by Ruben Amorim at Sporting Lisbon. Due to one significant weakness in his play, a former Premier League player has advised Manchester United not to sign Viktor Gyokeres.

The Swedish striker’s incredible performances at Sporting Lisbon earned him 60 goals for both club and country in 2024, becoming him Europe’s top goalscorer.

His absurd goal total since joining the Portuguese team from Coventry last year has drawn interest from Premier League suitors, and Ruben Amorim’s move to Manchester United has further fueled the flames. Gyokeres gave Amorim their best during their time together.

So far the newly-appointed United boss has remained tight-lipped on trying to lure Gyokeres away from his former team, while Arsenal have also been linked with the centre forward.

However, Watford and Premier League icon Troy Deeney believes both clubs would be making a mistake in forking out what would be a huge sum to secure Gyokeres’ services

Deeney scored 47 Premier League goals across 165 appearances for Watford but isn’t convinced by Gyokeres’ finishing and stressed his belief that the 26-year-old isn’t a ‘natural finisher’.

‘You know when you say something the clip is going to come back in six months,’ Deeney told talkSPORT.

‘I genuinely think he’s a good footballer, he works really hard, all of that. But I don’t think he’s a natural finisher.’

Deeney further went on to explain that Manchester United and Arsenal won’t have a chance of winning the Premier League title if they sign Gyokeres and urged caution when deciding on whether to launch a bid.

‘And again, everyone is going to pull up his goal record, I get that. But I don’t think he takes either of those two to winning the Premier League,’ added Deeney.

‘That’s just my opinion, and if he did, they’d have already bought him,’ the former Watford captain added.
