Overview

• The 24-year-old has not started any of Manchester United’s first seven league matches and was overlooked even for the Carabao Cup loss to Grimsby Town, leaving him with only brief substitute cameos.
• Multiple outlets report Zirkzee now views a January move as crucial after Ronald Koeman left him out of recent Netherlands squads and publicly questioned his current level.
• West Ham are credited with interest, while Juventus and Como are among Italian clubs monitoring the situation, with Everton also reported to be assessing a January approach.
• United’s summer additions of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have pushed Zirkzee down Ruben Amorim’s pecking order and limited his opportunities.
• United resisted approaches in the summer, including from Napoli, Juventus and PSV, but fresh reporting suggests an exit in the winter window is increasingly likely.
