Man utd can forget Gyokerers by freeing the star “generational” in a new role

Manchester United restored a certain sense of pride on the last day of the Premier League season with a 2-0 victory against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Amad Diallo and Christian Eriksen, who scored on the spot, both have on the match sheet to obtain three points for the Red Devils after their disappointment in Bilbao.
Ruben Amorim gave his speech to the supporters inside the ground after the full -time whistle and said that Manchester United can overcome any situation and that they will endeavor to bring success to the next club.
United ended the 2024/25 campaign without trophies added to the cabinet, and they will be without European football next season, which could also be considered a potential positive to facilitate their schedule and allow them to focus on domestic success.
In order to involve the club at the top of the table, AMORIM must be supported by the board of directors to improve its team, because current players simply did not delivered enough on the field.
A player who should be replaced, as a regular starter at the very least, is Rasmus Hojlund, who has not done enough to suggest that he can be invoked.
Why Manchester United must replace Rasmus Hojlund
The Danish sniper arrived from Atalanta in the summer of 2023 in an agreement which would have been valid up to 72 million pounds sterling, which immediately put high expectations on the attacker.
However, Hojlund had only scored nine goals in Serie A during the 2022/23 campaign and arrived in Old Trafford as a young attacker with the potential to improve, rather than a ready -to -use star which was to hit the ground.
Unfortunately, the 22 -year -old striker did not start how the club would have hoped when he decided to skip a large sum of money on his services two years ago.

As you can see in the table above, Hojlund had a fairly decent first year in the Premier League with a return of ten goals in 30 games, but he regressed throughout his united career to date, only marking in the League this season.
A return of four championship goals and zero aid in 32 appearances is simply not good enough. Not good enough for the Red Devils, and not good enough for an attacker who was signed for 72 million pounds sterling two years ago.
This is why Amorim must try to replace Hojlund as a starter, either with a player in the team, or by diving into the summer transfer window. However, a player who may not replace him is reported that the Viktor Gyokerres target.
Why the man utd may not sign Viktor Gyokerres
Despite the work with the Boss United at Sporting, the Swedish international may not be a realistic target for the giants of the Premier League this summer after having failed to secure European football.
Before the final of the Europa League, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano suggested that the movements for Victor Osimhen and Gyokerers could be removed from the table by not winning a place in the Champions League due to financial limitations.
The journalist said: “He likes Gyokerres and Gyokerres likes Amorim, that’s for sure. But for the UTD man, we say it to [Victor] Osimhen and for Gyokerers too – it depends on the budget, how much they can invest, how much they can spend and what is going on with European football. »»
The Sporting Number Nine Star was linked to Liverpool and Arsenal, who will both be in the Champions League next season, which could make United for United to outbid them or convince the attacker to choose Old Trafford to play European football.
Not to sign Gyokerres would be a shame, since the 26 -year -old star scored 96 goals and provided 28 assists in 101 games for sport, but Amorim could forget Hojlund and the former Ace of Coventry City by unleashing Kobbie Mainoo in a new role.
The new role that Kobbie Main should play for Man Utd
Although this may look like a crazy idea with nominal value, playing a central midfielder in advance as an alternative to the signing of an attacker with 96 goals in 101 games, it is a tactical decision that could be logical for United in the short term.
The teams have succeeded in the past without having a natural number that has scored more than 20 goals. Roberto Firmino, for example, only scored more than 12 goals in the Premier League during one of his seasons in Liverpool, and they won the title and the Champions League during his stay there.
The Brazilian international was so effective for Jurgen Klopp because he brought technical quality and ingenuity in a false role of new, which was perfectly completed by two interior attackers, to Mo Salah and Sadio Mane, who could regularly deliver objectives.
Mainoo, which has been described as a “generational talent” of Hojlund, is a technically excellent footballer who can offer similar qualities to Firmino in this role, and United would be on Matheus Cunha, who would be perfect for playing alongside International England as part of Kliverpool’s Kliverpool Front.

As you can see in the table above, the star of the Wolves has the goal and the creative quality to be a great addition as one of the number ten options behind the attacker, which could make him the Salah or Mane de Firmino de Mainoo.
While the transport of zero of United Star and four “ great chances ” cannot immediately draw attention, he created these chances in just 19 departures while playing mainly as a central midfielder, and the star presented his composure and his quality in the box against Lyon int The Europa League.
Mainoo scored three goals on only 0.89 XG during the first League 2023/24 campaign, which suggests that it has the potential to effectively finish the chances, and it would have more opportunities to find the bottom of the net while playing as a fake new.
Consequently, United could forget Hojlund and Gyoker by releasing the graduate of the Academy in a new role next season, using its technical quality and its intelligence to combine with the quality of scorer that Cunha and Bruno Fernandes can provide behind.

This could be a profitable and short -term solution to the Hojlund d’Amorim problem, due to the financial blow to miss Europe, and to save the club to have to spend money on an alternative to attacker less than ideal for their big targets, which could set them up to go a big number of next year if they work in European football.
