Manchester United may have a situation on their hands involving Joshua Zirkzee.
The Dutch forward has struggled to find his place within the Red Devils’ squad and could be set for a January departure.
This is one of the key issues that Rúben Amorim, the new manager of Manchester United, will need to address.
Zirkzee, who was signed from Bologna during the summer transfer window, has only been named in the starting XI on seven occasions so far this season.
Sources close to the club suggest that the 22-year-old forward is considering his options, as his game time has been restricted since arriving at Old Trafford.
A club insider reportedly commented, “It’s a challenging situation for Joshua. He’s young and eager to play, but right now, competition for places is incredibly fierce,” according to Sky Sports.
Should Zirkzee find himself on the market, there are expected to be multiple suitors interested in acquiring his services, given his impressive performance in Serie A prior to joining United.
It remains to be seen how Amorim will handle the situation and whether Zirkzee will indeed make an early exit from the club.
United fans will be keen to see how the team dynamics evolve under Amorim’s leadership and whether Zirkzee will be part of his long-term plans.
