Ruben Amorim ‘pushing’ Man Utd to sign ‘unstoppable’ goal machine

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is keen on a reunion with Viktor Gyokeres, according to the Italian media, but Chelsea are a major threat while the chances of Joshua Zirkzee leaving at the end of the season have also been analysed.

One of the areas that Man Utd are keen on strengthening in the summer transfer window is attack. Rasmus Hojlund is only 22 and has been linked with an exit from Old Trafford, having managed just 24 goals in 82 matches in all competitions for the Red Devils. Zirkzee is not a natural number nine and is himself relatively young at the age of 23.

Described by his former Swansea City and Coventry City team-mate Jake Bidwell as an ”unstoppable” striker who plays with “aggression” in The Manchester Evening News in November 2024, the 26-year-old has scored 40 goals and given 10 assists in 41 appearances already this season.

While Man Utd would love to have Gyokeres in their team from next season, CalcioMercato has revealed that Chelsea could challenge their Premier League rivals for the Swedish star, who scored 43 goals and gave 15 assists in 50 matches in all competitions last season.
