Berbatov claims that Manchester United could sign Viktor Gyokeres
Former manchester united Striker Dimitar Berbatov claims the Red Devils could sign Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres to strengthen their front line next year.
After enduring a terrible start to this season, United decided to part ways Erik ten Hag. Rubén Amorim has been named the new manager and will begin work at Old Trafford on November 11.
Under the command of the Portuguese coach, Gyokeres has enjoyed a stellar moment at the José Alvalade stadium in recent times. He contributed 58 goals last season and led his team to win the Portugal League title.
He has now started the new campaign in impressive fashion, scoring 20 goals and registering four assists in 16 appearances in all competitions. The Lions are on track to defend their title this season, winning all ten games so far.
speaking in sky sports, berbatov He now claims Amorim has a special connection with Gyokeres as the Swedish international has been in excellent form under his management. Thus, the Sporting coach could take the forward with him to Old Trafford.
Gyokeres to Manchester United
Furthermore, the former striker claims that considering Manchester United's forwards have struggled to find the back of the net in recent times, it would be the right decision to strengthen the attack by signing a prolific goalscorer like Gyokeres. Berbatov said:
“Viktor Gyökeres now scores goals for fun. “I think there is a special connection with Rubén Amorim, so maybe we will probably see him in the United shirt.”
the record first division The champions have scored just nine goals in 10 league games so far this season and only Southampton and Crystal Palace have scored fewer than them in the league.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are the two centre-forwards United currently have at their disposal, but both are still very young and need time to develop their careers.
Therefore, it would be the right decision to sign an experienced and proven goalscorer like Gyokeres to reinforce the first line next year. However, he won't be stingy as the 26-year-old has £84 million termination clause in your existing agreement.
It will be interesting to see if the record Premier League champions will break their backs to lure Gyokeres to Old Trafford to bolster the attacking department.
