WHAT HAPPENED?
United have been interested in signing Gyokeres since Ruben Amorim left Sporting CP to take charge at Old Trafford. They are expected to make a move for the striker in the upcoming summer transfer window, however, the reunion of Amorim and the Swedish striker might not take place due to the club's poor performance in the 2024/25 campaign.
