It is revealed that Manchester United s 24-year-old striker will leave the team in January? Sitting on the bench, the World Cup dream is shattered, Juventus and Everton are stealing people

Manchester United striker genius Zirkzee has been sitting on the bench this season, putting his World Cup dream in crisis. Everton, Juventus and many other teams are gearing up to grab players in the winter window. Will the Red Devils let him go?

Many British media broke the news: Everton is preparing to take action! Many teams are vying for Manchester United striker Zirkzee! "This player has always had market attention." - This sentence is more suitable for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee (Joshua Zirkzee). Now, this neglected Red Devils forward star is becoming another hot topic in the transfer market. According to multiple British media reports, Premier League powerhouse Everton is planning to take the lead after the winter window opens in January next year and sign the Dutch forward before many competitors.

Since the start of this season, Zirkzee's situation at Manchester United has been deteriorating. Although coach Ruben Amorim and the club's senior management still hope to retain him, the reality is before us: the young forward has not started in any Premier League game so far in the 2025/26 season, and even missed the second round of the League Cup at Grimsby Park at the end of August.

In that game, Manchester United was upset, which also meant that Zirkzee's playing opportunities will become even rarer. At the forward position, Benjamin Sheshko, Mathews Cunha and Brian Mbumo are all firmly above him, and he can only wait for opportunities on the bench. So far, he has only made three appearances in the Premier League, with a total playing time of only 74 minutes. Zirkzee's desire to leave is mainly due to his desire for the 2026 World Cup. The 24-year-old has made six appearances for the Dutch national team, but has not been selected for the Oranje since November 2024. If he continues to sit on the bench at the club, his future with the national team will undoubtedly be overshadowed.

Transfer expert Pete O'Rourke O'Rourke revealed in an interview with the media: "If Manchester United releases Zirkzee in January, there is no doubt that many clubs will join the competition." He further analyzed: "Zierkeze is destined to have difficulty playing this season. Sheshko is the number one center in Amorin's heart, and Cunha and Mbeumo are also qualified for this position. Obviously, Zirkzee himself is frustrated by the lack of opportunities. If this situation continues until January, he is likely to take the initiative to leave the team."

O'Rourke also pointed out that Serie A teams have already been eyeing Zirkzee: "Clubs like Juventus and Como have always been interested. He was very interested. After all, he had performed brilliantly in Serie A before joining Manchester United. "As for the Premier League, Everton is considered the most likely to take action: "Everton's forward Beto and Barry have performed mediocre so far and have not been able to establish themselves as the main force. The addition of Zirkzee may inject new vitality into the team's forward line. "

He finally added: "If Manchester United finally lets go in the winter window, I believe that more than one or two clubs will line up to buy him. "Now, Manchester United is facing a delicate choice internally: Should we continue to retain this forward who has potential but is temporarily useless, or should we find a new club for him when the winter window opens? As for Zirkzee himself, he may have no choice if he wants to return to the Dutch national team and catch up with the World Cup. So, what do you have to say about these news and opinions?
