Josh Zirkzee Poised to Depart Manchester United in January

Frustration Over Playing Time

The Dutch forward is expressing dissatisfaction with his limited playing opportunities this season under head coach Ruben Amorim.

Overlooked in Favor of New Signings

Zirkzee has struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup, as Amorim appears to prefer utilizing new recruits and other attacking options like Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha.

So far this season, he has accumulated a mere 74 minutes of action in the Premier League, failing to contribute any goals or assists. Overall, since joining from Bologna, Zirkzee has netted only seven times across 53 matches for Manchester United.

Concerns About World Cup Selection

According to the Daily Mail, Zirkzee is considering a move away from Old Trafford in January, driven by anxiety over potentially missing out on a chance to be included in the Netherlands’ World Cup roster. His frustration appears to have intensified significantly in recent weeks, leading him to conclude that leaving the club in January is his only viable option.
