“Manchester United May Let Three Players Depart in January, With Joshua Zirkzee Among Them, Reports Suggest
Manchester United are reportedly considering allowing three players to exit during the January transfer window, with Joshua Zirkzee the latest to express a desire to leave.
The Red Devils have struggled in the Premier League this season, managing only six wins from 20 matches, leaving them in 13th place on the table. Despite an encouraging 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, Ruben Amorim’s squad remains far from their desired position.
A major issue for United has been their lack of goals, with only Everton, Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, and Southampton scoring fewer. Players like Zirkzee, Marcus Rashford, and Rasmus Hojlund have faced criticism for failing to deliver the attacking threat needed to improve United’s fortunes.
Zirkzee, who joined from Bologna in the summer for approximately £36.5 million, endured a particularly tough moment during United’s recent 2-0 defeat to Newcastle. Substituted after just 33 minutes amid boos from fans, the 23-year-old was reportedly left “reduced to tears.”
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via GetFootballNewsItaly), Zirkzee is frustrated with his situation at Old Trafford and is keen to leave both the club and the Premier League. Juventus has emerged as a strong contender for his signature, with the player’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, reportedly working actively on securing his exit.
The report states that a “basic agreement” is already in place between Joorabchian and Juventus for a potential move. However, United would need to approve the deal, as they are not currently open to a simple loan arrangement.
Zirkzee is not the only player eyeing a January departure. Marcus Rashford has reportedly expressed his readiness for a “new challenge,” while Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is rumored to be considering a move amid interest from Saudi Arabia.
Former Premier League striker Gabby Agbonlahor criticized United fans for their treatment of Zirkzee during the Newcastle match, calling the reaction “disgusting.” Agbonlahor remarked, “He’s a young lad, 23, a new signing who hasn’t settled in yet. New signings don’t always deliver immediately, and I felt sorry for him.”
As January approaches, all eyes will be on United’s decisions, with potential exits likely to reshape the squad for the remainder of the season.”
