Amorim now in charge at Old TraffordLinked with raid for Swedish strikerUrged to return England star to his homelandFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱Getty/GOALWHAT HAPPENED?
The Red Devils have continued to spend big across recent transfer windows, but little return has been seen on that investment and another change in the dugout has been made as Ruben Amorim picks up a baton that has been wrestled from the hands of Dutch tactician Erik ten Hag.

There has already been talk of Amorim raiding the ranks at his former employers Sporting for Swedish striker Gyokeres – who boasts a prolific strike rate in Portugal and is being linked with big-money moves to clubs across Europe.
GettyDID YOU KNOW?
Ex-United striker Louis Saha is, however, not convinced that Gyokeres is the right option. He believes Premier League pedigree should be sought when luring England captain Kane back to his homeland from German giants Bayern Munich.
WHAT SAHA SAID
Speaking to , who offer the latest Premier League odds, Saha has said: “It might be surprising, but I don’t think Man Utd should go after Viktor Gyokeres. I think he is a good player in an incredible run of form, even in the Champions League, but he won’t get the same luxuries as he does at Sporting. Sporting are not under the same pressure as Manchester United, it’s a completely different animal. Right now United have Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee and at times the pressure has looked to be a lot for them to handle too.
“It’s hard to find players who can do what Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland can do, United need to find players that can really hurt the opposition and are proven in doing so and that’s a big task. United have spent a lot of money and I don’t think Gyokeres is the answer, if you can spend £120 million on Harry Kane then they should do it tomorrow, there are very few guarantees in football but that’s what a club like United needs.”
