Manchester United\u2019s striker search remains complicated, but in an ideal world, Viktor Gyokeres would be the obvious addition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the post-season tour of Asia wrapped up, Rasmus Hojlund sent a reminder that United needs to replace him<\/a> this summer. The Dane looked lost when given the ball in the box, and things got worse when he was upstaged by Chido Obi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old scored twice, but Manchester United<\/a> still needs an elite number nine, which is where Viktor Gyokeres<\/a> would be the top choice to arrive.<\/p>\n

United have a free run at Gyokeres<\/a> in terms of Premier League interest, with Arsenal and Chelsea both looking elsewhere for their new strikers.<\/p>\n

This comes after it was claimed that Gyokeres to United was very unlikely, but with limited options, Ruben Amorim<\/a> might be keen to convince his former player to join him as Ineos\u2019 targets drop off the list.<\/p>\n

If this move went through, it would be one following in great footsteps.<\/p>\n

Amorim is keen on signing Gyokeres this summer<\/a>; however, right now the chances of this happening remain on the unlikely side. Despite this, Gyokeres and Amorim have a great relationship<\/a>, which means we cannot rule it out.<\/p>\n

If Gyokeres heads to Old Trafford<\/a>, he will be following in the footsteps of some impressive signings made between United and Sporting CP.<\/p>\n

The first and most notable transfer between the clubs was Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a> in 2003, which ended up being a signing of the century contender, considering what the Portuguese legend went on to achieve in football.<\/p>\n

United attempted to replicate this in 2007 by signing Nani<\/a>, who was also a huge success for the club in his seven-year stay, with 41 goals and 65 assists in 230 appearances.<\/p>\n

Marcos Rojo was signed by Louis van Gaal as a cheap central defender\/left back, and he proved to be reliable and played a big role for the club during his time.<\/p>\n

Most recently, United signed Bruno Fernandes<\/a> from Sporting, which is the best signing United has made in years, with the Portuguese midfielder carrying the team at times.<\/p>\n

Viktor Gyokeres would be a guaranteed success by Ineos<\/p>\n

With consecutive summers for Manchester United seeing young strikers signed to little success, Ineos will want assurances of a player who will succeed and, most importantly, score goals.<\/p>\n

United need a 20-goal-a-season striker, at the very least, and Gyokeres ticks that exact box.<\/p>\n

Gyokeres finished second in the Golden Boot rankings across Europe for his 39 goals in the league and 54 in all competitions.<\/p>\n

Even with a drop off to account for the level of opposition, there can be no debating that Gyokeres would be a bona fide success for United with the history in his favour.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United\u2019s striker search remains complicated, but in an ideal world, Viktor Gyokeres would be the obvious addition.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,873,4116,393,4884,2465,62861,16,15,165],"class_list":{"0":"post-146111","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-bruno-fernandes","10":"tag-cristiano-ronaldo","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-manchester","14":"tag-nani","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-viktor-gyokeres"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114601042162133338","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
