"Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has reportedly been told that he has no chance of getting a move away from Old Trafford this January. The Netherlands international has played only five times for Man Utd so far this season, without a single start for Ruben Amorim's side. This seems far from ideal for Zirkzee with the World Cup coming up next summer, as he'll want to play regularly at club level in order to impress and make the Dutch national team squad."
"Zirkzee will just have to do his best to make the most of this opportunity, even if it looks like there's a long way back for him at Old Trafford. The former Bologna man hasn't scored for United in the Premier League in almost a year, and he'll surely just end up being shown the door next summer anyway. It will be interesting to see how this saga pans out,"
Joshua Zirkzee has been told he cannot leave Manchester United in January and must remain at Old Trafford. The Netherlands international has made only five appearances this season and has not started any matches under Ruben Amorim, reducing his playing time significantly. Regular club minutes are crucial ahead of the World Cup next summer to secure a place in the national squad. United retained Zirkzee to provide squad depth amid uncertainty over Benjamin Sesko's injury and expected absences such as Bryan Mbeumo's AFCON participation. He may serve as a backup this season and a transfer exit now looks more likely next summer.
