Man United reject Zirkzee exit amid Osimhen swap speculation

Posted : 02 December 2024

Manchester United has dismissed rumors linking Joshua Zirkzee with a potential winter departure from Old Trafford. The Dutch-Nigerian striker, who joined the club during the summer transfer window, struggled to make an immediate impact, scoring only one goal in his first 18 appearances before the recent match against Everton.


With the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim, speculation has arisen about potential transfers, with reports suggesting that the Portuguese manager is looking for players who fit his style of play. Among the rumored targets is Napoli's Victor Osimhen, with suggestions of a possible swap deal involving Zirkzee.

However, transfer expert Florian Plettenberg, based in Germany, has reported that Manchester United remains firm in its decision regarding Zirkzee. According to Plettenberg, the club has no intention of selling or loaning out Zirkzee this winter.


This statement comes shortly after Zirkzee's standout performance against Everton, where he scored twice in Manchester United's 4-0 victory. His brace not only helped secure a dominant win but also marked a turning point in his form, highlighting his potential.


The two goals also marked Amorim's first Premier League victory at Old Trafford, a significant achievement for the new manager. Zirkzee’s performance was crucial in the context of his personal development and the team's success under Amorim’s guidance.


Meanwhile, rumors surrounding Osimhen's future continue to circulate. Guido Vaciago, editor-in-chief of Tuttosport, speaking on Napoli's local radio station Radio Capri, mentioned that any potential January transfer involving Osimhen would require approval from Galatasaray, where he is currently on loan.


Vaciago explained that Galatasaray's approval would be necessary for negotiations until June 30, but he hinted that a move for Osimhen could become more feasible during the summer transfer window. Osimhen recently contributed with an assist in Galatasaray’s 2-2 draw against Eyupspor, bringing his total to three assists in the Super Lig this season.
