Gyokeres rejected as Amorim call for £120m alternative to sign ‘tomorrow’ over record ‘offer’

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has explained why his former club should stay away from Viktor Gyokeres and sign an alternative for £120 million.

Ruben Amorim leaves Sporting Lisbon to take over Manchester Utd and officially joined the Premier League giants earlier this week.

39 years old Amorim He was linked with Liverpool and West Ham in the summer after helping Sporting Lisbon win the Primeira Liga twice since 2020.

Amorim helped Sporting Lisbon win their first 11 matches in the Primeira Liga this season and He saved five former Premier League flops.

Under Amorim, former Coventry City striker Gyokeres has emerged as one of the best strikers in the world and He is the top scorer in Europe this year.

“I think he is a good player who is in incredible form, even in the Champions League, but he won’t have the same luxuries as he had at Sporting.

“The sport isn’t under the same pressure as Manchester United, it’s a completely different animal. At the moment United have Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee and at times the pressure seems unmanageable for them too.”

Saha calls for Man Utd to “spend £120m on Harry Kane” instead It comes amid reports suggesting they have already made a record ‘offer’ to sign the England international who could replace two ‘resounding failures’.

Saha added: “It’s difficult to find players who can do what Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland do. United need to find players who can really hurt the opposition and have been proven to do that, and that’s a big task.”

“United spent a lot of money and I don’t think Gyokeres is the answer, if you can spend £120m on Harry Kane they should do it tomorrow, there are very few guarantees in football but that’s what a club like United is like.” “he needs it.”

Earlier this year, former Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag admitted that they “wanted to sign” Kane before signing Rasmus Hojlund in the 2023 summer transfer window.

“You have to accept that talent has been recruited in the past rather than proven players,” he explained. “We made some selections with talent like Rasmus Hojlund,” Ten Hag said.

“I can see a striker (Harry Kane) who has already proven himself, who we wanted to sign but couldn’t. Then we went to Rasmus because he is a talent.

“You know you will score 30 goals with Harry Kane. I think Rasmus will get there but he needs time.

“It’s not fair to judge him in the same way as Harry Kane. I would never compare the two players because they are so different. “But with Rasmus Hojlund we achieved the highest potential in the forward position last summer.”
