Gyokeres plays down Manchester United rumors

The Sweden international has been targeted by several European clubs, including Man United, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain.

Reports also suggested that Gyokeres could follow former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford.

However, Gyokeres insisted that he wants to stay with the Portuguese club.

“It’s not something I think about, nor something I care about,” he said.

“These are rumours, nothing concrete. Of course I want to finish the season at Sporting, I enjoy my time there. I don’t feel stressed about making a change in the future. We’ll see when the time comes.”

Sad to see Amorim left Sporting

Amorim signed a contract with United until June 2027.

The 39-year-old is set to start his tenure at Old Trafford with a match against Ipswich Town at Portman Road this Sunday.

Gyökeres played down reports about his possible reunion with Amorim.

“He [Amorim] probably already has strikers there,” Gyokeres said. “It’s very sad that he left [Sporting], but of course we understand the decision. He meant a lot to me, as he gave me an opportunity and helped me evolve a lot.

“Now we are looking forward to working with the new coach [João Pereira].”

Gyokeres netted a league-high 29 goals to help Sporting win the Primeira Liga title last season.

He also scored a hat-trick in Sporting’s 4-1 Champions League victory over Manchester City on November 5.
