According to the Mirror, Manchester United’s new coach Ruben Amorim is planning to send Joshua Zirkzee out on loan and sign Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres, whom he already knows from his time in Portugal, to reinforce United’s attack.
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has reportedly set his sights on bolstering the club’s attacking line by signing Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyokeres in the January transfer window.
This potential move could see current United striker Joshua Zirkzee sent out on loan to gain more experience. Amorim, who previously managed Sporting, is well-acquainted with Gyokeres and his abilities, making the Swedish forward a top target for United’s attack.
Gyokeres has impressed this season and is regarded as an ideal addition to United’s forward options under the Portuguese coach’s new system. Meanwhile, Zirkzee, who has shown promise but struggled for consistency at Old Trafford, would benefit from a loan move where he can develop further.
If successful, the move would mark Amorim’s first major signing, reshaping United’s attack and potentially adding depth and versatility to the squad. With Gyokeres in high demand and Sporting’s stance yet to be clarified, a January transfer could be pivotal to Amorim’s vision for his new club.
