"The Red Devils' current stance is that they don't want to let Zirkzee go, but it seems this will not put West Ham United off from trying their luck. That's according to iNews, who state that the Hammers will likely push to bring in Zirkzee on loan for the second half of the season. The report adds that other clubs are also interested in Zirkzee, including Roma and others from Serie A."
"Even if United would ideally like to have the squad depth that someone like Zirkzee brings, it might be hard to persuade him to carry on with that kind of role in a World Cup year. The Netherlands international might be in with a chance of playing for his country in the tournament in the States next summer, but not if he's only warming the bench at Old Trafford."
"It might be that unless Zirkzee pushes really hard for a transfer, he'll simply be told that he has to stay where he is. The 24-year-old might have to risk upsetting a few people at United if he is to get what he wants, or else he'll have to really do his best when he gets on the pitch to show Ruben Amorim that he should be starting more games."
Manchester United appear likely to face interest in Joshua Zirkzee during the January transfer window. United's current stance is that they do not want to let Zirkzee go, but West Ham United are expected to pursue a loan for the second half of the season. Several other clubs show interest, including Roma, Serie A sides, Aston Villa, Brighton, AC Milan, Juventus, and Como. Zirkzee risks limited playing time at Old Trafford ahead of a World Cup year and may need regular minutes to secure national selection. He may have to push for a transfer or perform strongly when selected. Zirkzee has struggled since joining United and a move away could best serve his career.
