There’s growing speculation that Viktor Gyökeres, the talented Swedish striker currently playing for Sporting CP, could be on his way to Manchester United. The rumors have intensified following his impressive performances, including a hat trick in Sporting’s recent 4-1 victory over Manchester City.

Gyökeres has been in sensational form this season, netting 23 goals in 17 games. His partnership with Sporting’s manager, Ruben Amorim, who is set to take over at Manchester United, has been a key factor in his success. Amorim’s familiarity with Gyökeres and his playing style makes the striker a prime target for the Red Devils.

United’s sporting director, Dan Ashworth, who previously worked with Gyökeres at Brighton, is also said to be keen on bringing the forward to Old Trafford. With United’s current strikers struggling to find the back of the net, Gyökeres could provide the much-needed firepower to boost their attack.
