Mainoo’s future at Manchester United

Transfer rumors surrounding Zirkzee

Joshua Zirkzee, a forward with Manchester United, is rumored to be a target for Serie A side Roma. Despite these links, Zirkzee reportedly intends to stay and fight for a starting spot at Old Trafford rather than make a January move.

Recent performances

Zirkzee’s playing time has increased since November due to squad injuries. He completed a match against Everton and netted in a comeback victory against Crystal Palace. Nevertheless, he returned to the bench against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Upcoming opportunities

With Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo departing for AFCON, more starting opportunities could open for Zirkzee. Coach Ruben Amorim may shift the lineup, which can see Zirkzee in a more pivotal role as the team copes with these absences.

Mainoo’s situation

In contrast, Kobbie Mainoo faces uncertain future prospects at United. Once considered a promising player, Mainoo now sees limited chances and is considering a loan to Napoli for regular playtime. He draws interest from over ten clubs, with Napoli showing the greatest persistence.

Future prospects

The January transfer window looms, presenting both Zirkzee and Mainoo with significant career resolutions. While Zirkzee strives to cement his place, Mainoo contemplates his options for more playtime. At Manchester United, the team is poised as they gear up for forthcoming challenges.
