Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres is setting the record straight amid swirling rumors that he might follow his former coach, Rúben Amorim, to Manchester United. Since Amorim’s recent departure from Sporting CP, fans and sports pundits alike have speculated about the fate of Gyökeres, a standout under Amorim’s management.
However, Gyökeres’ response is as cool as a cucumber. When asked about the possibility of joining Amorim in England, Gyökeres brushed off the idea, saying,
Going with Amorim to Man United? I don’t know, I’m here. As you can see, I enjoy it at Sporting. It’s nothing I think about.
In true team-player style, Gyökeres took a moment to acknowledge Amorim’s influence, expressing genuine gratitude. “I’m sad about him leaving. We wish him all the best.” But when it comes to his own future, the 25-year-old forward is laser-focused on Sporting and his continued growth in Portugal.
With Gyökeres a key figure in Sporting’s attack, his loyalty is music to the ears of the club’s fans, who can rest easy—for now. While anything can happen in the world of football, Gyökeres has made it clear he’s not chasing Old Trafford dreams just yet. The Sporting star is staying put, and he’s ready to make this season unforgettable in Portugal.
