“I think Amorim had that idea before hand as Viktor Gyokeres [at Sporting] is a really similar profile in terms of physicality andᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ size. Hojlund is a great athlete as well.
“There are things that himself and Joshua Zirkzee can work on but right now it i💯s Hojlund, Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes are the ones creating opportunities for United.”
