Zirkzee joins two other Man Utd stars in 'looking' to leave in January

Manchester United could see three players depart during the January transfer window, with Joshua Zirkzee reportedly the latest to seek an exit.

The Red Devils have endured a dismal Premier League campaign so far, managing just six wins in 20 matches and sitting 13th in the table.

Despite an encouraging 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, Ruben Amorim's side remains far from their desired position.

A lack of goals has been a significant issue for United this season, with only Everton, Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, and Southampton scoring fewer in the league.

Strikers Zirkzee, Marcus Rashford, and Rasmus Højlund have all faced criticism for failing to deliver the attacking output needed to lift the team higher up the table.

Zirkzee, 23, reportedly broke down in tears after being substituted in the 33rd minute of United’s 2-0 loss to Newcastle last week, with fans booing him as he left the pitch.

Signed from Bologna in the summer for approximately £36.5 million, Zirkzee has struggled to adapt, and reports suggest he is now eager to leave Old Trafford.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Zirkzee is "keen on departing United and the Premier League" due to frustration with his situation in England.

Juventus has shown strong interest, and discussions between Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, and the Italian club are reportedly well underway.

While United has yet to agree to a deal, Juventus is pushing for a resolution, particularly after their exit from the Supercoppa Italiana heightened their urgency to bolster the squad.

Zirkzee isn’t the only player eyeing an exit. Marcus Rashford has expressed a desire for a "new challenge," and Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is reportedly considering a move to Saudi Arabia.

Casemiro’s agent is actively exploring options, with multiple clubs showing interest. The situation leaves United potentially facing significant changes during the transfer window as they aim to stabilize a turbulent season.
