Manchester United star Joshua Zirkzee is set to push for an exit from Old Trafford in the upcoming January transfer window despite Ruben Amorim's attempts to block his move to Serie A. The striker has found minutes hard to come by this season, sitting firmly down the Old Trafford pecking order as summer signings Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha have been preferred as the team's No.9 by Amorim.

Wayne Rooney has expressed his concerns over former club Manchester United ahead of the January transfer window, as the Red Devils continue to pick up positive results in the Premier League without being fully convincing, according to their all-time top goalscorer Rooney. United returned to a top-six place after beating Newcastle United on Boxing Day but might need to add to their squad in January, claims the pundit.

Former Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen believes some of Ruben Amorim's public comments about the club's dire state "didn't help at all". The Denmark international spent three years at Old Trafford before leaving for Wolfsburg over the summer, and now he is reflecting on his stint with the Red Devils. While the 33-year-old has many fond memories there, he wasn't all that complimentary about Amorim.

Ayden Heaven has lifted the lid on Ruben Amorim's formation change after Manchester United's 1-0 win over Newcastle on Friday night. Patrick Dorgu's stunning first half strike at Old Trafford was enough to secure all the spoils as United returned to winning ways at the Magpies' expense on Boxing Day. The victory saw Amorim's side go level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea.

No Bruno Fernandes? No problem. Manchester United picked up their first home win in two months as they edged out a 1-0 win over Newcastle without their inspirational captain. Lisandro Martinez made a thunderous return to action - taking the armband in Fernandes' absence - while Patrick Dorgu was an even bigger revelation, dazzling in attack and winning the game with a tremendous volley.
