The Sweden international has turned heads across Europe with his sensational form in front of goal. He has netted 57 goals over the last 18 months in Lisbon.

There is great speculation that he could move to the Premier League next summer. It has emerged that Sporting are prepared to sell him for around €70 million.

Arsenal , Chelsea , Liverpool and Manchester City are said to be keen on landing his signature, but Plettenberg claims that United are not weighing up an approach.

However, the reputed journalist has mentioned that the arrival of Ruben Amorim as the next United manager could have an influence on the club's decision making.

The Portuguese has turned Gyokeres into an elite-level striker since his move to Sporting last year and it remains to be seen whether United bring him to Old Trafford.
