With Sporting CP’s head coach Rúben Amorim set to become Manchester United’s manager on November 11, media speculation has emerged that the Portuguese coach might adopt the transfer strategy of his predecessor, Erik ten Hag, by signing players from his former team. However, Sporting’s key players remain cautious about these rumors.
Details: Lisbon club's top scorer, Viktor Gyökeres, who has been linked to Old Trafford, did not clearly indicate whether he would follow Amorim to Manchester United, expressing his satisfaction with Sporting.
Quote: "Joining Manchester United with Amorim? I don’t know. I’m here. As you can see, I enjoy being at Sporting. It’s not something I’m really thinking about. I’m sad that he [Amorim] is leaving. We wish him all the best," Sky Sports quotes Gyökeres.
Reminder: Previously, Amorim mentioned that he does not plan to bring Sporting players to Manchester United during the winter transfer window and expressed that signing Gyökeres would be challenging due to the Swedish striker’s €100 million price tag.
