Overview

• Reports in the UK press say Zirkzee is frustrated with his reduced role this season and is considering a January move to secure regular minutes.
• He has not started a match in 2025–26, logging about 82 minutes off the bench with no goals and sitting out as an unused substitute against Sunderland.
• GIVEMESPORT, cited by The Peoples Person, reports Ruben Amorim wants him to stay and the club is reluctant to approve a January exit or accept a loss on the roughly £43m fee paid in 2024.
• Juventus and PSV Eindhoven were linked over the summer, with Napoli also reported to have shown interest before turning to a deal for Rasmus Hojlund.
• Zirkzee started 15 times last season but has fallen down the pecking order after arrivals such as Benjamin Sesko and with fewer rotation opportunities following United’s Carabao Cup exit.
