The Dutch language is not widely spoken at Old Trafford as a result of Manchester United’s removal from the Erik ten Haag, last October 28, and Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who has served as interim since then and was also fired on Monday, along with his assistants Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel, before the Portuguese arrived Ruben Amorim to the bench from Sporting Lisbon.
It’s not that United’s Dutch colony has disappeared as defenders continue to be in the squad Matthijs de Ligt, Tyrell Malacia and Noussair Mazraoui (Moroccan international but born in the Netherlands), as well as the striker Joshua Zirkzee.
But one of them, definitely Zirkzee, He could be the next to leave Old Trafford because, according to the Daily Mail, Amorim intends to sell it in the January market, when they will hardly be fulfilled six months after his arrival in Manchester from Bologna for at least 42.5 million euros. The young 23-year-old attacker signed a contract five seasons.
Zirkzee stood out last year in Italy, but in England so far he has not lived up to expectations. It’s almost never starter in four of the 11 days of the Premier League played, although he participated in all matches, and He scored only one goal, in the first against Fulham, which cost the victory (1-0).
Meanwhile, in the Europa League, he took part in four games (two starts) and two more in the League Cup (one start) without scoring in both competitions.
May Hag he was picked in the first few games due to a knee injury Rasmus Höjlundbut when the Danish striker returned he was gradually relegated to the bench.
interest of Juventus
In this context, United are ready to listen to offers in January and Juventus are interested in including him, according to Tuttosport, because they only have Dusan Vlahovic available at the point of attack from then on Arkadiusz Milik suffered a meniscus injury with the Polish national team ahead of Euro 2024.
Amorim’s goal is to bring Sporting to him Viktor Gyökeres, the Swedish sensation of the season in Europe with 23 goals in 18 games. “It costs at least 100 million euros (his termination clause), so it’s very difficult,” said Amorim, however, last week.
