Premier League Shockwave: Viktor Gyökeres Rejects Manchester United – Blames Insider for Arsenal Switch
In a stunning twist that has rocked the Premier League, Viktor Gyökeres has rejected a move to Manchester United, instead opting to join **Arsenal**—and he’s not hiding the reason.
“Don’t blame me—blame him. He’s the reason I said no to Manchester United,” the Swedish striker reportedly told insiders.
“United is clearly a bigger club than Arsenal, no doubt. But after what he said to me on that call, I’m heading to Arsenal just to prove him wrong.
He provoked the lion—now he’ll feel the consequences.
I respect Amorim, but I won’t be joining him. This isn’t about money or history anymore… it’s personal.”
The comments have set social media ablaze. According to reports, Gyökeres had already agreed personal terms with United, and the deal seemed all but done—until a single phone call changed everything.
Now, all eyes are on the mystery United figure Gyökeres blames. Insiders suggest it could be a senior official who questioned his value or made a disrespectful remark, triggering the striker’s dramatic change of heart.
With Manchester United urgently needing a new No.9, this last-minute rejection is a crushing blow for manager Rúben Amorim, who had already begun strategizing around the striker.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have pulled off a major coup. Mikel Arteta is set to welcome a forward with something to prove and a chip on his shoulder**—fuelled by pride, not promises.
💥 Arsenal fans are celebrating.
😤 United fans are furious.
🔍 And everyone’s asking: who made that call?
