Viktor Gyokeres doubts emerge as Man United warned to sell two stars after Ruben Amorim agreement
New Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim will take the reigns of his first Premier League game on Sunday, with all eyes on how he will reshape the team he has inherited from Erik ten Hag.
One transfer rumour that has followed in his wake is a move for his old club's high-flying striker, Viktor Gyokeres - but some Manchester Evening News readers are cautious about such a move in our comments section.
United's raid on Portuguese club Sporting could continue with an offer for Gyokeres in the future, with the striker showing very impressive numbers this season. He has scored 32 goals in just 24 appearances for club and country this term, outscoring Manchester City's Erling Haaland by some distance already.
However, there is reportedly a "gentleman's agreement" to prevent the Reds from plucking Gyokeres from Sporting in the January transfer window, which would mean that any move would have to wait until the end of the season. Journalist Fabrizio Romano says that Sporting want to ensure that they can challenge for their league title this year, and want to avoid any further shocks that would unsettle the club.

Reader JustifiablySceptical urged caution on Gyokeres: “If Amorim is adamant he wants him, then we should trust him. However, we shouldn't be desperate to sign the guy just because he's been successful with that manager in a weaker league. We know that's not a recipe for guaranteed success. I did think he looks good, but Amorim should be the judge of whether he's the best one for us right now.”
