Following Sporting Lisbon’s sensational 4-1 Champions League win over Manchester City, head coach Ruben Amorim thrilled Manchester United fans by hinting at a potential transfer move. “I will bring him to Man Utd,” Amorim teased, fueling speculation about Viktor Gyokeres’ future as he prepares to take the reins at Old Trafford.

In a match where Sporting Lisbon showcased their firepower, Gyokeres shone brightly, scoring a hat-trick that included two clinical penalty finishes. Initially, Manchester City took an early lead through Phil Foden, but Gyokeres leveled in the 38th minute after missing an earlier chance. Sporting surged ahead with Maximiliano Araujo’s goal at the start of the second half before Gyokeres sealed the deal with two penalties, taking his season tally to an impressive 23 goals in 17 matches.

Following the match, Amorim praised Gyokeres’ performance and hinted at his future plans: “Gyokeres has adapted perfectly to my style and brings a unique energy on the field. Bringing him to Manchester United could be just what we need.”

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand was quick to echo the sentiment, tipping Gyokeres as a valuable addition to Amorim’s future United squad. “Premier League teams must be scratching their heads wondering how they missed out on this guy,” Ferdinand commented, adding that Gyokeres’ journey from Brighton to Sporting reflects resilience and growth.

Ferdinand further speculated that Amorim could make Gyokeres his “No. 1 target” for the United rebuild. With Gyokeres now tied as the top scorer in the Champions League, his future looks increasingly set for a Premier League move. Sporting Lisbon may entertain offers around £50-58 million next summer despite his £85 million release clause, setting the stage for what could be an exciting transfer season for Manchester United fans.
