  • Rúben Amorim praised Zirkzee’s cameo yet warned he should not be thinking about a move, saying players must focus on Manchester United.
  • Reports continue to link the forward with Serie A interest, including Roma, though United are reluctant to sanction a January exit without replacements.
  • Amorim said the club does not anticipate significant transfer activity this month, reiterating there are currently no talks to change the squad.
  • Cunha publicly urged Zirkzee to stay, highlighting his quality and recent contributions and saying the team needs him.
