Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has reportedly made a decision to retain Joshua Zirkzee and sell Rasmus Hojlund instead in anticipation of the upcoming summer transfer window. The Red Devils are looking to bolster their attacking options due to a lack of consistent goal-scoring throughout the season.
Zirkzee, who joined United in July 2024 for £36.5m, initially struggled after a promising debut but has shown improvement recently, particularly in an attacking midfield role. Despite earlier speculation about his potential departure, Amorim now plans to keep Zirkzee at the club for the upcoming season, while Hojlund is set to be made available for transfer.
Amorim's change of heart regarding Zirkzee's future at Manchester United reflects the coach's belief in the player's development and versatility within the team's tactical system. Zirkzee's recent injury setback will require him to miss several upcoming matches as he focuses on recovery and regaining full fitness under Amorim's guidance.
