Man United legend urges the club to complete the signing of £83m-rated striker who has perfect ‘physique’ needed to play in Premier League
Manchester United legend Gary Pallister is keen to see the Red Devils bring a star-studded player who could find the Premier League to be the real “test” for him.
Following the start of the November international break, Ruud van Nistelrooy left Old Trafford and Ruben Amorim officially arrived at United from Sporting CP.
Ruben Amorim inked a deal until June 2027 and the former Sporting CP manager faces an uphill task in challenging for a top-four spot this season.
Pallister watched Man Utd-linked player
Ruben Amorim is widely expected to make sweeping changes to the Manchester United first-team squad that he inherited from Erik ten Hag.
The 39-year-old Portuguese manager has already been linked to players at former side Sporting CP, including star striker Viktor Gyokeres.
Viktor Gyokeres arrived at Sporting CP from Coventry City in 2023 and the 26-year-old Swedish striker has been in a stunning run of form for the Portuguese side.
The Sporting CP star, who is under contract until 2028, has netted an impressive 68 times in 73 appearances since his move from Coventry City.
United legend Gary Pallister admitted that he watched Gyokeres at Coventry City and found that he “caused a lot of problems” at Championship level
“I saw him quite a lot at Coventry when they challenged Middlesbrough a couple of seasons ago,” he told Swedish outlet FotbollDirekt.
“At Championship level, he caused a lot of problems. I wasn’t a hundred per cent sure at the end if he could make it into the Premier League.
“I know the Portuguese top flight is not the same as the Premier League but it sounds like he has actually improved since he was there and that is why he has been talked about.”
