Swedish international Viktor Giorges has officially rejected a move to Manchester United, despite the club being managed by his former coach, Ruben Amorim. Instead, Giorges has chosen to concentrate entirely on his ongoing negotiations with Arsenal.
Sources confirm that Manchester United submitted a significant offer to Sporting Lisbon—where Giorges was the league’s top scorer last season. While the Portuguese club was open to the offer, the 27-year-old striker dismissed it without consideration.
Giorges’ preference lies with Arsenal, a club that has qualified for next season’s UEFA Champions League and continues to compete for titles under manager Mikel Arteta. Reports indicate that Arsenal has reached a preliminary agreement with Sporting Lisbon for approximately €63.5 million, with bonuses still under negotiation.
