Why Ruben Amorim does not need Viktor Gyokeres at Man United

The saying; ‘the things we cherish most is right in front of us’ cannot get any truer as Ruben Amorim is just weeks to moving to Manchester United. 

With Manchester United’s incoming manager Rúben Amorim making headlines, speculation has soared about a potential summer move for Sporting Lisbon’s red-hot striker Viktor Gyokeres, currently rated at £80 million.

Gyokeres, who has dazzled with 23 goals this season, might seem like United’s dream signing, but some fans believe the answer to their striker dilemma is already in the squad: Rasmus Hojlund.

At just 21, Hojlund has shown glimpses of his potential, becoming the youngest player to score in six consecutive Premier League games. However, injuries and inconsistency stalled his progress last season.

With Amorim’s fluid 3-4-3 system set to arrive at Old Trafford, fans are buzzing about the prospect of Hojlund evolving into a powerhouse under the Portuguese manager.

“Gyokeres has the stride and strength, but Hojlund has the tools,” one fan tweeted. Many see Hojlund as a Gyokeres-in-the-making—only with the added advantage of seven years to develop under Amorim’s guidance.

As excitement builds, could Hojlund be the true gem Amorim molds into United’s next top striker?
