In a dramatic twist that’s shaking up the Premier League, Viktor Gyökeres has rejected a transfer to Manchester United—and he’s not staying silent about why.
The Swedish striker reportedly had everything in place to join United, even agreeing to personal terms, until a pivotal phone call changed everything. According to sources, Gyökeres claimed:
*“Don’t blame me—blame him. He’s the reason I’m not going to Manchester United. United is clearly a bigger club than Arsenal, but after what he said during our call, I’m heading to Arsenal to prove a point. He provoked me, and now he’ll see the consequences. Much respect to Amorim, but I won’t be signing. This isn’t about money or legacy anymore—it’s personal.”*
That’s right—Gyökeres is choosing Arsenal not for silverware or Champions League action, but out of spite. And now, speculation is rampant about the identity of the mystery figure at United who allegedly offended him. Insiders suspect it could be someone who questioned his talent—a move that may have cost United their primary striker target.
While Manchester United fans are stunned and frustrated, Arsenal supporters are celebrating what could be a major win. Behind the scenes, Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal hierarchy have secured a player with something to prove and a fierce drive to make his mark.
As United scrambles to fill their No.9 spot, this unexpected twist has sparked questions, anger, and a sense of crisis at Old Trafford—once again.
