Despite the high hopes at his arrival, Zirkzee now faces the task of impressing new boss Ruben Amorim after Ten Hag's exit. However, Calciomercato claim that Amorim isn't convinced by the 23-year-old striker and is ready to sanction a transfer in January.

Ruben Amorim will not necessarily seek to sign his old Sporting CP ally Viktor Gyokeres when he arrives at Manchester United – but he may instead seek to make one of the Red Devils existing forwards in Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee an equivalent player.

Manchester United fans have told Ruben Amorim exactly what to do with Joshua Zirkzee after watching him vs Leicester City.

Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are both said to have come up in talks between the Manchester United hierarchy and incoming boss Rubel Amorim.
