The crisis at Manchester United continues to escalate, and one of the names seemingly set to bear the brunt is Joshua Zirkzee. The young midfielder, signed for 43 million euros just six months ago, has failed to convince his new coach, Rúben Amorim, who has already made it clear that he doesn't count on him.

The latest episode highlighting this situation was seen in the recent defeat at Old Trafford against Newcastle (0-2). In a match that demanded a team reaction, Zirkzee was far from being the spark that the Portuguese coach needed. His performance was erratic, with multiple ball losses and distribution errors that further disrupted United in midfield.

Similar to Ten Hag, Rúben Amorim also doesn't want him at Manchester

This lack of performance means that the young Dutchman is more out than in at Manchester United. He was already on his way out with Erik Ten Hag on the bench, but after the departure of the Dutch coach, his exit was somewhat forgotten as Amorim wanted to give him a chance. However, Zirkzee failed to seize the opportunity, and the Portuguese coach also wants him out.

Although Zirkzee returned to the bench after being substituted, his gesture of frustration upon leaving made it clear that his future at Old Trafford is far from promising. According to various sources, Amorim has already informed the board that he doesn't consider him, and he is willing to facilitate his exit in the upcoming market. Juventus, monitoring this situation, could be the ideal destination for the Dutchman, who is seeking a fresh start after a stint at United that never took off.
