"Manchester United are without back-to-back league wins during Ruben Amorim's 11-month tenure but will be seeking to put that right this weekend with victory over rivals Liverpool. The Red Devils' hierarchy are sticking with Amorim despite a difficult year at Old Trafford and the head coach's resistance to changing his 3-4-3 formation. Nevertheless, Man United have recorded the highest Expected Goals (xG) total in the Premier League this season which suggests Amorim's attackers are doing their bit."
"And it's just as well, considering Sir Jim Ratcliffe sanctioned a transfer spend in excess of 200 million on three new arrivals in the summer. Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have given Man United's attack a facelift, although that has meant other players have been left without minutes. One such individual is Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee, who is reportedly keen on leaving the club permanently in the winter transfer window."
"Zirkzee has scored just seven goals in 53 outings for Man United since his 36.5 million (42.5 million) move from Bologna and could make a return to Italy before long. According to Italian daily newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, Zirkzee is unhappy at Old Trafford having featured only three times in the league this season, none of which have been from the start."

Sir Jim Ratcliffe authorised over £200 million in summer signings, bringing in Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee has made only three league appearances this season, scored seven goals in 53 outings since joining from Bologna, and is reportedly keen on a permanent winter exit with AS Roma and Como linked.
