Gyokeres Can Be The Star Of Amorim’s MUFC Rebuild – Rio Ferdinand

Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has come out to say that Viktor Gyokeres will be licking his lips at the chance to join Ruben Amorim at MUFC. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, having someone like Gyokeres who understands his tactics perfectly will benefit Amorim greatly at MUFC, and the striker can be the star of his rebuild in England.

Rio added that Victor already knows the manager, and that would be key if he decides to transition into a different league.

His words, “With all due respect to the Portuguese league, it is a very good league, but it’s not one of the top leagues. If he signs for a team in the Premier League, he’ll be having to prove who he is. He’ll have to reshape himself and say ‘this is me’, presenting himself to everybody under that spotlight and then going ‘right, this is who I am.’

If he wants to win, he goes to Manchester United… no, I’m joking! The key point is that he knows the manager. For a transition into another league, to go with somebody that knows your game perfectly and will actually be able to get the best out of you – he’s proved he can do that somewhere else. And you’re going to go somewhere where he’s rebuilding, and you can be the star of that process with him. I think he’ll be licking his lips at something like that.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
