Nani has said that he would love to see Manchester United sign Viktor Gyokeres in the summer transfer window, but another former Old Trafford star believes that Ruben Amorim should bring in a former Tottenham Hotspur striker instead.
One of the areas that Man Utd are desperate to strengthen in the summer transfer window is attack. Rasmus Hojlund is still only 22 and has failed to lead the line to the high standards expected of a number one striker at Old Trafford, while Joshua Zirkzee is a year older and is not a natural number nine
Man Utd’s defeat to Nottingham Forest away from home at the City Ground on Tuesday evening in which they failed to score has once again highlighted the absolute need for a top-quality number nine.
TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent Fraser Fletcher reported on March 14 that Man Utd want to sign Gyokeres.
Sources have told TEAMtalk that Man Utd boss Amorim is keen on a reunion with the striker, having managed him at Sporting CP.
A report this week revealed that Gyokeres has ‘given his word to Rúben Amorim to join him at Manchester United this summer’, although the Red Devils’ poor performances and Arsenal’s interest in the Sweden international striker could affect that.
Former Man Utd winger Nani has urged the Red Devils to sign Gyokeres from Sporting CP to solve their goalscoring problems.
The Portuguese has outlined the attributes of the 26-year-old Sweden international striker that would make him a perfect fit in Amorim’s team.
Nani said on Rio Ferdinand Presents: “He is a player who can play in the Premier League – trust me.”
“If he was playing the same today as one year ago, I would say no, because in the Premier League, the defenders will eat him, because he just wants to run with the ball.
