Zirkzee Seeks January Departure from Manchester United

Limited Opportunities at United

Joshua Zirkzee, a forward for Manchester United, plans to seek a transfer away from the club in the upcoming January window, despite manager Ruben Amorim’s desire for him to remain.

Zirkzee, 24, has seen minimal playing time this season, having only started three matches in the Premier League so far.

Manager’s Stance

Even with Zirkzee’s lack of playing opportunities, Amorim remains firm on wanting him to stay with Manchester United for the remainder of the season.

Interest from AS Roma

Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that Zirkzee is determined to secure a winter move and has reportedly accepted a proposal from AS Roma.

The striker has engaged in encouraging discussions with Roma’s sporting director Ricky Massara and manager Gian Piero Gasperini, who assured Zirkzee that he would integrate seamlessly into their 3-4-2-1 formation.
