Swedish international Viktor Gyökeres has become a hot topic of discussion following Ruben Amorim’s switch to Old Trafford.
Amorim, who played a key role in bringing Gyökeres to Lisbon, is now tasked with revitalizing United’s squad, sparking rumors of a reunion in Manchester.
As reported by Fotbollskanalen, Gyökeres expressed gratitude for his former manager while maintaining his focus on Sporting CP.
“It’s very sad that he’s leaving, but of course, we understand his decision,” Gyökeres remarked.
“He has meant a lot to me, considering that he gave me the chance and helped me develop so much.”

Gyökeres has been in unstoppable form, scoring an extraordinary 66 goals in 68 appearances for Sporting—a record that has made him one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards.
Despite United’s struggles in attack and their need for a prolific goal-scorer, Gyökeres confirmed he has not been contacted by United about a potential transfer.
Amorim has also clarified that he does not plan to raid his former squad during the January transfer window, though he hasn’t ruled out moves in later windows.

United’s young forwards, including Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee, have struggled to make an immediate impact.
While the club has already invested heavily in the duo, Gyökeres’ consistency and goal-scoring ability make him an intriguing option.
For now, Gyökeres remains focused on Sporting’s 24/25 campaign, but his name will likely continue to feature in discussions as United eye reinforcements under Amorim’s spell.
With Amorim preparing United for their upcoming clash against Ipswich Town, it remains to be seen if Gyökeres will feature in his long-term plans.
One thing is clear: both the manager and the striker have immense respect for each other, fueling speculation that their paths may cross again in the near future.
