Joshua Zirkzee was substituted in the first half during Manchester United's 2-0 loss to Newcastle United, prompting jeers from home fans. The Netherlands international was reportedly seen in tears after being replaced by Kobbie Mainoo. United manager Ruben Amorim defended the decision, stating he was prioritizing the team's needs and acknowledged Zirkzee's emotional distress. Meanwhile, reports suggest Zirkzee's former coach, Thiago Motta, is interested in offering him a transfer away from United.
Joshua Zirkzee has endured a difficult period at Manchester United in the last few months but that was taken to a new level on Monday night.
Tuttosport have reported that Zirkzee remains the 'first name' on Motta's wishlist but whether a move on loan or permanent transfer happens in the New Year, remains to be seen. Here, MEN Sport takes a deeper dive into Zirkzee's situation. "It's some moments, and you have some examples like Harry Maguire, that have some tough moments, but that is life in every profession. So we will support Josh and continue because, like I said, Newcastle were a better team. Was not better than Josh, was better than Manchester United."
