Ruben Amorim has sent a clear and firm message to Viktor Gyokeres. Reports suggests that the striker is only open to joining Manchester United if they qualify for the Champions League.
Amorim Challenges Gyokeres with Brutal Reality Check
Ruben Amorim was Viktor Gyokeres’ manager in their title-winning season at Sporting. The new Manchester United boss has made it clear about the potential arrival of the striker to Old Trafford. The manager is making it known that he’s not interested in players who are only drawn by big stages or massive paychecks.
Gyokeres has been in great form this season. He is setting the world on fire with 52 goals in 48 games in all competitions with 12 assists. The Portuguese boss wants the Swedish striker show commitment.
Utd are interested in him and have reportedly held concrete talks over a potential €70m deal. Meanwhile, the manager has warned that he doesn’t want players who are only chasing Champions League football or big-money deals.
The Red Devils are still in the hunt for a UCL spot through the Europa League. The door isn’t closed, but the head coach is making it clear that attitude matters just as much as talent.
Gyokeres Holding Out While United Push On
Despite strong links to both Manchester United and Arsenal, the Swede hasn’t yet given the green light to either club. Journalist Florian Plettenberg has confirmed that there is still no agreement in place.
The Sporting striker is reportedly looking at his options carefully. He will be preferring a move to a club that offers Champions League football.
However, Amorim’s strong stance suggests that any deal will require more than just stats and star power. It will demand total buy-in to Utd’s long-term rebuild.
The Red Devils are just three games away from a possible Europa League title and UCL qualification. This summer could be make-or-break for their striker search. One thing is clear, Ruben Amorim isn’t in the mood for passengers.
