Viktor Gyokeres' response to Man United interest revealed

Man United could tempt Viktor Gyokeres to join the club even without Champions League football, sources have told Football Insider.

The 26-year-old striker could be tempted to move to Old Trafford due to the size of the football club and the huge pull that they have.

The 20-time champions are not currently looking at a deal for the Sporting CP star, but if they decide to sign a striker then it is believed that Gyokeres will be at the top of the list.

Ruben Amorim’s expected appointment as the next United manager could give them the edge in the race to sign the Sweden international.

Football Insider revealed that the 39-year-old manager has been in talks with United about taking over Erik ten Hag following his sacking on Monday (28 October).

Amorim was the man who signed Gyokeres to Sporting in 2023, and he has become one of the most highly sought-after strikers in world football since then.

Man United will have competition in landing Viktor Gyokeres

Gyokeres has an £83million release clause for any team interested in him in January, but it is expected his price tag could drop in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Football Insider revealed that Arsenal and Chelsea have the striker on their shortlist for next summer, with the two London clubs looking to bolster their attacking options.

However, Amorim could be the difference maker in this situation as well-placed sources have told Football Insider that Gyokeres is a huge fan of him.

The striker has made a prolific start to this season by scoring 14 goals in 14 games across all competitions, with his stock continuing to rise.

Gyokeres scored 43 goals and provided 15 assists in 50 games last season for Sporting CP, which saw him catch the eye of several top European clubs.

Ten Hag opted to bring in Joshua Zirkzee during the summer transfer window to provide cover and competition for Rasmus Hojlund upfront.

However, the 23-year-old has struggled to find his footing in England and has scored just once in 13 appearances.
