Joshua Zirkzee is reportedly looking to leave Manchester United in January after falling out of favour under manager Ruben Amorim. Having made just three Premier League appearances so far this season, the striker is now attracting interest from two Serie A clubs as he aims to boost his chances of making the Netherlands’ squad for the 2026 World Cup by exiting Old Trafford.
Manchester United are heading for a stormy few weeks behind closed doors, with reports claiming that crunch transfer talks have been scheduled with Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee ahead of the January window. Both players are said to be growing deeply frustrated by their limited minutes under boss Ruben Amorim, and are now demanding clarity on their futures before the turn of the year.
Joshua Zirkzee is pushing for a January exit from Manchester United as the striker continues to struggle for playing time under Ruben Amorim. Roma, managed by long-term admirer Gian Piero Gasperini, are lining up a loan move to bring the former Bologna star back to Serie A, offering a chance to boost his hopes of making Netherlands' squad for the World Cup.
Joshua Zirkzee is reportedly desperate to exit Old Trafford in the January transfer window as his 'frustration has escalated significantly' over his lack of game time under Ruben Amorim this season. The Dutch attacker has featured in just three Premier League games in 2025-26 and is yet to start in any of their matches. His total accumulated game time is 82 minutes.
Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee could be on the move this January, with Serie A side Como reportedly exploring a deal for the Dutchman. Manager Cesc Fabregas’ ambitious project is said to view Zirkzee as an ideal attacking addition, and United are open to either a loan or permanent transfer midway through the current Premier League season.
Marcus Rashford is revelling in his form at Barcelona, with the Manchester United outcast adding another assist to his tally with La Liga heavyweights. The England international has been deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, allowing him to spend time with Aston Villa and Barca, and the 27-year-old forward is determined to prove to his parent club that he is no spent force.
