Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee is reportedly seeking a move in the January transfer window after a challenging start to his tenure at the club. Signed for £36 million from Bologna during the summer, Zirkzee initially showed promise with a debut goal but has struggled to make a significant impact since, scoring only once in 19 appearances across competitions. New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has reportedly expressed concerns about Zirkzee’s fit within his tactical system, which prioritizes a high-intensity style of play that the Dutch forward has struggled to adapt to.
Despite Amorim’s public defense of his players and efforts to instill confidence in the squad, speculation about Zirkzee’s future has intensified. Juventus and other Serie A clubs have been linked as potential destinations, with some reports suggesting United may consider cutting their losses to facilitate the arrival of a new striker. However, Zirkzee remains committed to proving his worth and gaining Amorim’s trust, working hard to adapt to the team’s demands.
Amorim, who recently replaced Erik ten Hag, has emphasized the need for attacking reinforcements, reportedly targeting players like Viktor Gyökeres for the summer. While Zirkzee’s January departure isn’t confirmed, the situation highlights Manchester United’s broader challenges in reshaping the squad under new manageme
