Paul Merson has questioned Manchester United’s rumoured interest in Sporting star Viktor Gyokeres, claiming ‘no one wanted’ the forward when he was playing for Coventry.
Gyokeres set the Portuguese top flight alight across a magnificent debut season in Lisbon last term, racking up 29 goals and ten assists to help Sporting win a 20th league title.
Facing the media after Friday’s one-sided match, the Sweden international distanced himself from speculation of a potential transfer move to Old Trafford.
‘Going with Amorim to Manchester United? I don’t know,’ Gyokeres told reporters when asked about the possibility of following Amorim to the Theatre of Dreams.
