New Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has sparked a debate among fans and experts on which players the club should target in the transfer market. One suggestion is to sign Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres, who has been in top form since his move from Coventry City in 2023. However, former United striker Louis Saha believes the club should prioritize signing England captain Harry Kane instead, even if it means spending £120m.
Gyokeres has been a sensation at Sporting Lisbon, scoring an impressive 43 goals in his first season and already notching up 23 goals in just 16 games this season. This has caught the attention of several clubs, including Manchester United, who are considering a move for the Swedish international. However, with Amorim's recent appointment as the club's new manager, rumors of Gyokeres' potential departure have only intensified.
Despite Gyokeres' impressive record, Saha doubts he is the right fit for Manchester United and believes the club should instead focus on signing proven goal-scorer, Harry Kane. The Bayern Munich striker has an impressive tally of 61 goals in just 61 games and has established himself as one of the top scorers in Europe. With 213 Premier League goals under his belt, Kane could also be eyeing a return to England to break Alan Shearer's all-time record of 260 goals.
Saha believes that United need players who can consistently deliver and hurt their opponents, like Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland. He also points out that Gyokeres may not be able to handle the pressure at a club like United, whereas Sporting Lisbon operates under different circumstances. Saha also mentions United's current strikers, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, who have struggled to handle the pressure at times.
The former United striker believes that, if possible, the club should go all out to sign Kane for £120m. He sees Kane as a proven goal-scorer who can guarantee results for the club. As well as being Tottenham's record goalscorer, Kane has also surpassed Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney to become England's all-time leading scorer. He will have the chance to add to his tally in the upcoming international break.
It remains to be seen which direction Manchester United will take in the transfer market, but one thing is for sure: they will need to make smart and strategic decisions to bring in the right players to help the club reach their goals.
