Incoming Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim reveals Viktor Gyokeres transfer plan after seeing Sporting CP hat-trick hero put Man City to the sword

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erling-haaland-trolled-sweden-social-media-viktor-gyokeres/bltf9116e1674be17c5" target="_blank">Gyokeres outshone Erling Haaland</a> on Tuesday night as the Swede fired a hat-trick in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-sporting-cp-erling-haaland-phil-foden-viktor-gyokeres/blt8172f07d97e77c94" target="_blank">Sporting CP's 4-1 win over Manchester City</a> in the Champions League. The striker has been in remarkable form since joining Sporting in the summer of 2023, scoring 66 goals in 67 appearances, as speculation around his future continues to grow.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amorim has already said <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/viktor-gyokeres-follow-ruben-amorim-man-utd-addresses-difficult-potential-transfer-striker-makes-admission-manager-exit/bltfde8cdf05829baac" target="_blank">he won't try to sign Gyokeres</a> in the January window but that may not stop the incoming United boss from trying to convince INEOS to make a move in the summer. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-liverpool-linked-viktor-gyokeres-100m-release-clause-too-much-sporting-striker-next-window-premier-league-transfer-message/blt2186aa05c1274600" target="_blank">Arsenal and Liverpool have also been linked</a> with a move for the former Coventry City forward, who has developed into <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/viktor-gyokeres-worth-100m-arsenal-chelsea-scrambling-sign-ex-coventry-striker-sporting-cp/blt57780abfa9241cc6" target="_blank">one of Europe's most prolific stars</a>. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"I can’t make fun of it, right now, it was hard for me to leave, if I start joking about this Gyokeres situation I’ll get in trouble," Amorim said on TNT Sports. "This is my city, this is my country, so I’ll respect it." </p><p>The Portuguese coach then added: "Viktor has to stay until the end of the season, and then his life maybe is going somewhere else."</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>The 26-year-old will be one of the most sought-after players in the world next year should he continue to score with ease, with Sporting set to cash in on a player they signed for around £20 million just a year ago.</p>
