Reports suggest that Manchester United could be set to accelerate their pursuit of Sporting CP's profilic striker Viktor Gyokeres

Ruben Amorim has told Manchester United he cannot afford to wait until the summer and wants to sign Viktor Gyokeres in January, according to reports. Amorim has endured a dismal start to his tenure as United manager, taking seven points from his first eight league games in charge.

Ruben Amorim is suffering a nightmare at the start of his Manchester United reign, tasting defeat in six of his first 11 matches as head coach after walking away from Sporting. And the Portuguese tactician has already publicly admitted that he didn't want to abandon his self-built empire in his homeland until the end of the season.
