Man Utd told to launch move to sign shock Premier League striker as potential alternative to Viktor Gyokeres as Ruben Amorim searches for new No.9

<p>Fernando Lopes, the president of Uniao Tires, the club where Beto first made his breakthrough, has suggested that United should consider a move for the forward, according to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35513471/beto-man-utd-urged-to-sign-amorim/" target="_blank">the <em>Sun</em></a>. Beto joined Everton from Udinese for an initial £25.75m (€30m) and really struggled to find his footing, and the back of the net, initially. However, since the appointment of David Moyes, Beto has become a key player and started scoring regularly. Lopes believes Beto would even be a better fit for United than <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/viktor-gyokeres-blackmail-threats-man-utd-rejection-sporting-cp-superstar-big-summer-move/blt4d9c8fa8e88cf70b" target="_blank">the United-linked Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting CP</a> - despite the Swede scoring 68 goals in the past two seasons to Beto's 11.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>As per the <em>Sun</em>, Lopes said: “Everyone thought Amorim would sign Gyokeres as he had him at Sporting but the Premier League is completely different to Portugal.
</p><p>“Teams are more physical and compact at the back, it is quicker and more competitive. Gyokeres would struggle to play as a lone number nine waiting for service. Beto’s a more physical player, who fights with defenders and doesn’t lose duels. He is a real headache for opponents — if he gets the service.
</p><p>“In their golden era, United always scored a lot of goals from set-pieces but haven’t had a proper striker for many seasons. Nowadays, teams have small, quick strikers or a false forward because there is an obsession for possession of the ball. Beto represents the typical old style, because of his physique, power and work-rate — plus he is very fast. When Moyes went to Everton he showed what a handful he is for defenders to stop.
</p><p>“He’d be like Amorim’s ace up his sleeve in a game of poker.”</p>

WHAT LOPES SAID

<p>A move for a player initially considered a flop at Everton is unlikely to materialise. However, United have been linked with a move for another Everton flop. Reports over the weekend suggested that United are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-intensify-efforts-sign-ex-everton-flop-amid-talk-move-saudi-arabian-club/blt672c69995d883157#csa918c054f30196c4" target="_blank">weighing up the possibility of triggering Moise Kean's release clause at Fiorentina</a>. The Italian striker has release clause of €52 million (£44.5m/$60m) available from 1 to 15 July and has attracted interest from both United and Saudi Pro League sides.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The hunt for a striker goes on. Amorim is unimpressed with both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee and wants the club to bring in a proven goalscorer up front. The options remain thin and the rumours remain large, but as of yet, United are yet to truly identify the best option up front. When <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/premier-league-2025-26-fixtures-liverpool-arsenal-man-utd-schedule/blte4d4817b0dfd9f96" target="_blank">the club kicks off the start of the season against Arsenal at Old Trafford</a>, it is unknown who the starting striker will be.</p>
