Rúben Amorim reveals his plans to sell one striker this January for to sign his favorite type of player who can score a lot of goals.

Manchester United are reportedly considering a swap deal involving Joshua Zirkzee following his underwhelming performances since arriving at Old Trafford. The Dutch striker joined United from Bologna for £34 million on a five-year contract, with the intention of providing attacking support for Rasmus Højlund. While Zirkzee initially impressed with a late winner on his debut against Fulham, he has failed to find the back of the net in his subsequent 15 matches, raising doubts about his long-term prospects at the club.

Despite the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim, who could potentially offer Zirkzee a clean slate, reports indicate that the club might use him as leverage in their pursuit of Napoli star Victor Osimhen. According to Il Mattino, via Get Football News Italy, Manchester United have proposed including Zirkzee in a deal to secure the services of the Nigerian striker.

Osimhen’s situation at Napoli has been fraught with challenges. He was stripped of his iconic No. 9 shirt and loaned to Galatasaray, where he has reignited his form, scoring eight goals in nine appearances. The loan agreement reportedly includes a clause allowing him to leave in January if a major club comes calling.

The potential swap could be mutually beneficial. Manchester United would bolster their attacking options with a proven goal-scorer in Osimhen, while Napoli would gain a young talent in Zirkzee, who could flourish with a fresh start in Italy.
