Manchester United’s Zirkzee Draws January Interest as Bench Role Deepens

Limited minutes under Ruben Amorim following a summer influx of attackers have prompted interest in a January move.

Overview

  • He has not started any of United’s first seven league matches, logging 74 of a possible 630 minutes, and he was left out of the Carabao Cup starting XI against Grimsby.
  • Reports say West Ham have joined the race alongside Juventus and Como, with Inter previously linked and Juventus still monitoring the situation.
  • Coverage differs on his original fee, with figures reported at just over £36m or around £43m, and one outlet says his contract runs to 2029 with an option to extend.
  • Summer arrivals Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha have pushed him down the pecking order in Amorim’s system.
  • One report claims his lack of club minutes has cost him a place in Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands setup.
