“They have to do what I want if we want to win titles or I will leave this club. I am a big player so I deserve titles to my name. We need a better striker and a lot of quality players” — Fernandes Sparks Excitement Among United Supporters with His Activity on Social Media After What He Said on Viktor Gyokeres Transfer 📲👀

In a dramatic twist that has set Manchester United’s fanbase buzzing, club captain Bruno Fernandes has set the internet ablaze with what many are interpreting as a transfer “call to arms.” The Portuguese midfielder recently sent a series of signals on social media regarding Viktor Gyokeres, a striker currently lighting up the Portuguese league with Sporting CP.

Fernandes, a former Sporting captain himself, made headlines after liking a celebratory post from Gyokeres on Instagram. That post came shortly after Sporting secured their second consecutive Liga Portugal title — a triumph that Gyokeres played a crucial role in delivering.

But what truly caught the attention of United fans was not just the like — it was Fernandes’ new decision to follow Gyokeres on Instagram, combined with his bold recent comments to the press. Speaking to a Portuguese outlet, Fernandes didn’t mince words: “If this club wants to win, they need to follow my ambition. I want better players. I want a top striker. Or I leave.”

The message was loud and clear. For a captain to lay down such a gauntlet speaks volumes about his own expectations — and his potential role in pushing for Viktor Gyokeres’ arrival at Old Trafford.

Gyokeres is no ordinary transfer target. The Swedish international has been in electric form for Sporting since arriving from Coventry City. Over two seasons, he’s racked up an astonishing 96 goals in all competitions, while also contributing double-digit assists. His blend of physical strength, clinical finishing, and selfless movement makes him the kind of complete forward United have been craving.

With Rasmus Højlund still developing and Joshua Zirkzee struggling for consistency, Erik ten Hag — or his potential successor — is reportedly eager to add a proven goal-scorer. And while Arsenal were believed to be in pole position, things might be about to change.

TalkSPORT and several Portuguese outlets claim that Arsenal had agreed a £58.9 million fee with Sporting. Yet Manchester United, emboldened by Fernandes’ influence and their own urgent need for firepower, are set to match — or even better — that offer.

United’s pursuit has taken on an emotional dimension as well. Fernandes’ connection to Sporting and his rapport with Gyokeres may prove decisive. Some insiders believe Fernandes has already spoken to the striker privately, selling him the dream of becoming a legend at Old Trafford.

Adding intrigue, Sporting teammates have hinted that Gyokeres’ departure could be imminent. Eduardo Quaresma commented under Gyokeres’ post: “We go for the tri? 👀” — suggesting this might be the striker’s last dance in Portugal.

While the idea of Arsenal having an edge remains, United’s late push — fueled by Fernandes’ open show of support — could completely change the landscape of this transfer saga. The question now is whether United can close the deal fast enough before Gyokeres is lost to a direct rival.

Financially, the club will need to make serious moves. The Glazers are reportedly under pressure to back the manager in the summer window, and a marquee signing like Gyokeres — combined with the recent news of a possible Victor Osimhen deal — could signal a change in transfer policy.

Supporters have responded with overwhelming enthusiasm. Social media has exploded with United fans calling for the club to act decisively. Fernandes, already adored by the fanbase, has now positioned himself as not just a captain but a leader with vision and standards.

This move would also reunite Fernandes with the Portuguese league, albeit indirectly, and possibly begin a new attacking era at Manchester United — one shaped by both legacy and ambition.

As the transfer window heats up, the Gyokeres saga promises to be one of the summer’s defining stories. Will United secure their captain’s wish and land the goal machine they desperately need? Or will Arsenal, known for their stealthy transfer strategy, win the race?

One thing is certain: Bruno Fernandes has drawn a line in the sand. He wants trophies. He wants reinforcements. And now, he wants Gyokeres.

The ball is firmly in Manchester United’s court.
