Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has weighed in on ongoing rumors linking Viktor Gyokeres with a move to Old Trafford this summer.Having stepped in to replace Erik ten Hag earlier this season, Amorim has been tasked with the monumental challenge of reviving a struggling United side. Despite reaching the Europa League semi-finals, their domestic form paints a far gloomier picture—currently sitting 14th in the Premier League and perilously close to the relegation zone, just three points clear of 17th place.Red Devils flirting with Gyokeres?Yet, a twist of fate could still see the Red Devils secure Champions League football next season. Victory in the Europa League would grant them a place in Europe’s top-tier competition, regardless of their league finish.As preparations for next season begin, Amorim is expected to strengthen his squad—especially given that Patrick Dorgu is the only signing made under his tenure so far. Among the potential targets is a familiar face: Viktor Gyokeres, the prolific striker who flourished under Amorim’s leadership at Sporting Lisbon.Ahead of United’s crucial clash against Athletico Bilbao in the Europa League semi-finals, Amorim was asked whether a reunion with Gyokeres could be on the cards.🚨 Rúben Amorim: “Gyokeres deal?
