Joshua Zirkzee is very unhappy at Man United and wants to leave Old Trafford during the winter transfer window, as he is mad about his playing time under Ruben Amorim in the current campaign. The Dutch forward has been part of just 3 EPL matches this season and is yet to begin from the 1st minute in any of their games. His total time on the pitch is just 82 minutes.

After the Portuguese head coach took charge of Manchester United in November, Joshua appeared in 21 straight Premier League games until his campaign was cut short by a hamstring problem. With the Red Devils signing 3 new forwards in the summer, his playing time has been limited significantly.
Zirkzee doesn’t want to continue to be a substitute in Man United as he looks for a place in the Dutch national men’s team in the World Cup in North America. Joshua is not part of the Netherlands team during the current international break, and that’s why he decided that he wants to exit Old Trafford in January.
Rasmus Hojlund left to join Napoli in the past summer and now shines in Serie A, as Zirkzee is looking for the same.
