In Manchester, there are those who consider that Gyokeres is not a guarantee of goals
Louis Saha fears that signing Swedish striker or Crystal Palace’s Mateta would be a mistake and suggests looking elsewhere
The insufficient performance of Hojlund (8 goals) and Zirkzee (6 goals) has led to increasing calls for Manchester United to raid the striker market in the summer. However, the news that Viktor Gyokeres and Jean-Philippe Mateta are on the cards for the club led by Ruben Amorim does not please Louis Saha, a former Red Devils player .
The former French international believes that Manchester United cannot repeat past mistakes and is in favour of signing a striker with proven credentials: “You need players who can score goals. I’m not saying Mateta and Gyokeres won’t do that, but at the moment it’s not certain.”
“I’ve seen players in good form sign for Manchester United and not perform or be able to reach the level expected,” he added, defending the investment in a forward capable of making an immediate impact in the Red Devils’ attack.
According to this profile, Saha suggests an English forward: «They are desperate for someone of the calibre of Harry Kane , who is known to score 30 goals and make 20 assists a season. That is guaranteed.»
This season, at 31 years of age, Harry Kane has scored 32 goals and provided 10 assists for Bayern Munich in 37 games, while Viktor Gyokeres has scored 40 goals and provided ten assists in 41 games.
