The transfer reports has already gone into overdrive since Manchester United hired Ruben Amorim as head coach, with discussions beginning about which Sporting players might be joining their mentor at Old Trafford.

One of the names that United supporters are enthusiastic about is star striker Viktor Gyökeres, as the Swedish goalie continues to play well in Portugal.

Dimitar Berbatov, a former center striker for United, expressed his opinion on the possible move, stating that he believes there is a good probability Gyökeres will eventually go from Lisbon to Manchester.

Speaking on Sky Sports Monday Night Football, Berbatov praised the 26-year-old and says his current relationship with Amorim will be key to the move

“This guy, Viktor Gyökeres is scoring goals for fun right now, so I think there is a special connection with him and the coach.

So maybe, we are probably going to see him in a United shirt at one point,” said Berbatov.

Asked if it would be something he would like to see, the Bulgarian was in no doubt of United’s need to improve in attacking areas and feels Gyökeres would improve the current options.

“From what he’s showing right now, I think yes, because our strikers at the moment are not doing and producing, like we see from the wheel wagon (Sky stats graphic), 18th in the league for scoring goals is embarrassing for a stature of club like United,” he added.

United’s lack of goals has been an issue for the last couple of campaigns and this year’s profligacy was a big factor in Erik ten Hag losing his job at the Theatre of Dreams.

With just nine Premier League goals registered in twelve games, Amorim will be well aware of the need to improve those metrics quickly when he touches down in Manchester.

The new manager has promised Sporting he will not be going in for any of their players in January but should he struggle find the formula with the current crop before the end of the season, the Portuguese club might be expecting a call in the summer.

Amorim’s first game in charge will come against newly promoted Ipswich Town on November 24th
