Man Utd go for Viktor Gyokeres! Red Devils make initial approach for Sporting sensation as Ruben Amorim hopes for reunion at Old Trafford

<p>United have made an initial approach for Sporting CP striker Gyokeres, according to <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/live-blog/30778/13025492/man-utd-transfer-news-rumours-and-gossip-live-updates-and-latest-on-deals-signings-loans-and-contracts" target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports</em></a>. The Red Devils are targeting better options in attack and Gyokeres is one of the most in-demand forwards around Europe after netting 39 goals in the Primeira Liga this past season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Rasmus Hojlund endured a tough second season at Old Trafford, scoring only four Premier League goals, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/inter-man-utd-rasmus-hojlund-talks-red-devils-striker-revealed/bltd0f229f2fda8437a" target="_blank">has been the subject of interest from Serie A giants Inter</a>. However, United are keen on signing a new central forward whatever happens to the Dane this summer and Gyokeres, who previously played under Amorim, is one of a number of options they are said to be monitoring. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/randal-kolo-muani-clear-statement-where-play-next-season-juventus-man-utd-interest-psg-striker/blt84ecaac4429a0e0e" target="_blank">Randal Kolo Muani has also been linked</a> but recently voiced his desire to stay at Juventus.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Of the 39 goals Gyokeres bagged in Portugal's top flight during the 2024-25 campaign, 12 came as penalties. The 27-year-old has also struck 15 times on international duty with Sweden, having made his senior debut in 2019.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>A move to United would represent a return to England for Gyokeres, whose exploits for Coventry earned him a transfer to Sporting in 2023. United, meanwhile, remain on the hunt for new additions to improve Amorim's squad after an underwhelming season.</p>
