Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has reaffirmed his desire to retain Joshua Zirkzee’s services, despite the attacker’s struggles to find form since joining the club.
Zirkzee’s future has been the subject of intense speculation, with Juventus reportedly leading the chase to sign the Dutchman.
Amorim’s Stance on Zirkzee’s Future
Amorim confirmed to reporters that he wants to keep Zirkzee at the club, citing the player’s work ethic and commitment to the team.
However, the Man United boss stopped short of guaranteeing that Zirkzee would not be leaving, acknowledging that the transfer window is open and circumstances can change.
Zirkzee’s Relationship with Amorim and Manchester United
Reports suggest that Zirkzee’s relationship with Amorim has broken down, leading to speculation about his future at the club.

However, Amorim’s comments suggest that he is willing to give Zirkzee another chance to prove himself.
Why Manchester United Should Keep Zirkzee
Despite Zirkzee’s disappointing start to life at Manchester United, the club would be wise to retain his services.
With no funds available to spend in the transfer window, outgoings rather than incomings are likely to dominate the headlines.
Zirkzee has shown glimpses of his potential, and his presence provides valuable depth to the squad, particularly in the absence of Rasmus Hojlund.
The Risks of Letting Zirkzee Go
Allowing Zirkzee to leave would weaken Manchester United’s squad, particularly given the club’s limited transfer budget.
With Marcus Rashford’s future also uncertain, retaining Zirkzee’s services would provide a vital attacking option for Amorim.
A loan exit might be beneficial for Zirkzee’s personal development, but Manchester United’s priorities should focus on maintaining a strong and competitive squad.
