Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is ready to make some big changes at the club after their poor performances this season.
The Red Devils are currently 14th in the league and after more than halfway stage of the season, they are closer to the relegation zone than they are to the top of the Premier League standings.
It is another season which has shown that their recruitment in the last few seasons has not been the best and Amorim is ready to make big calls to change that.
One of their biggest underperformers this season has been Joshua Zirkzee, who only joined the club in the summer transfer window.
The Dutch attacker, who was signed by former manager Erik ten Hag, has only managed to score three Premier League goals so far this season and against Newcastle United at Old Trafford in the previous match, he was taken off before halftime by the Man United boss.
A report from Fichajes has now claimed that the Portuguese manager is keen on the club to sell Zirkzee in the January transfer window.
The former Bologna attacker has failed to impress the new Man United manager in the two months that he has been in charge of the club.
Man United are ready to let Joshua Zirkzee leave this month

Ruben Amorim makes transfer decision after Man United star’s mixed start to the season
Amorim is ready to get rid of Zirkzee and the manager is willing to use the January transfer window to allow the 23-year-old to find a new club.
The Dutch striker was taken off in the 33rd minute against the Magpies at Old Trafford and some of the Man United fans even booed the attacker for his poor performance.
The attacker has been linked with a move back to Serie A, with Juventus being named as his admirer.
There are even suggestions that Ten Hag who brought the attacker at the club did not want to sign him in the first place.
Uncertainty over the future of some Man United players is starting to increase and with the arrival of the January transfer window, changes can be expected at the Premier League giants.
Transfer news guru Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof and Casemiro are all expected to head out of the club in January in a major reshuffle of the squad
under new management.




Sell, Zirkzee, Rashford, Garnacho, Casemiro, Eriksen, Lindelof, Shaw, and Maguire. Then bring in Amorims preferred players along with introducing some of our Youngsters to the squad. This could save millions in wages and make our team much better.
Yes, you made the point. It is high time to bring in the youngsters in to the frame.
I think the problem is at Man UTD and not managers. You can not have over 6 managers and interims all failing to find solutions to the poor performance. Let managers themselves find the players they believe in. The current team formation of 3-6-1 on the pitch does not fit the current breed of players. Amorin should seek a fitting team formation like 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 for now as he finds players he believes in
No changing of playing formation those players are trash even if the coach change the playing formation to 4 3 3 they can perform better,consistence is their problem.
Yes you are very correct for the formation to remain at 4-3-3 then introduce his 3-4-3 formation once he has his 1st eleven team. At present there’s a lot of reshuffling and the players need to understand each other as well.
players like Rashford, Maquire, Zirkzee, Linderlouf, Anthony, etc need not to be in Man U squared again sell them off.
This is spot on. This kid we bought from Arsenal needs a game soon too
Do you know what you’re saying? Which club wants to sell their performing players in January? None, they prefer they could leave in June when they can use the money judiciously.
You want the club to Get relegated before june
Exactly.
You made a great point.
Sell those not relevant to the style of play and inject new guys into
All 9 attacking players off Man united are weak,, they can’t hold any ball they loss the ball easily they can’t defend they can’t attack,, you hav one solution, sell them all don’t leave any1,,, how can u hav midfield that hav 3 assist in per season its an joke winger zero assist,, please sell sell sell..
Don’t get rid of shaw or nacho or eriksen
You are spot on there Ian but the rest must go !!!
In the last 3 seasons they have given away tons of goals from corners.
The solution is simple !!
Take out 5 of our players from inside the penalty box , put two midfield players just outside the box and 3 attacking players together on the halfway line ,left or Right flank.
This will stop the attacking side from putting 7or 8 of their big players into our box and blocking our keeper from getting to the ball.
🤔
No 1 MU mus change goalkeeper.
He let in easy goal.
He failed to intercept crosses
Then we need a proflic striker that can score out of nothing.like Osin of Galstaray, Cunha in Wolves,Victor of Sporting Lisbon.
Midfield can remove Erisken.in defence Liuke Shaw, Lindelof
In attack Zikree, Washford.
The Manager must also adapt if the players cannot play to you system no point it on them.
If he fails he must before we are relegated.
I think Ole a better coach then him.
Abeg if them no sell them wetin be their necessity in the club
Sell all. Nobody is an exception. We need players that are ready to play for the club. Shaw and mount. The injury guys. We pay these guys alot of cash and they literally play at least 7 games a season while we can sell them and target low budget academy players
You literary took the words out of my mouth , I couldn’t help agree more with you. If that lot is shipped out , Ruben can then begin bringing players with his philosophy.
Change the coach. You can’t change the style of play that u as a coach wants cus United is used to a 1 X 4 X 3 X 3 formation
The club is looking petetic under new coach. U need fast experienced defenders.
Attacking quick midfielders to operate back and forth. Pls use the up and coming youngsters. Look at Alex Ferguson with
Beckham, Scholes, Neville Brothers, Nicky Butt, Scholza,and many other youngsters playing together. Groom them with one or two experienced seniors but remove the dead wood with high salaries.
Couldn’t agree more
The pain is just too much looking at how low we’ve sunk. How did we allow ETH to assemble average and mediocre team?
100% correct
Captain that’s what we need someone who will die for the club not the one we have now who only seem to cry all the time they have changed everything else but not the captaincy
Couldn’t agree more but I would add Fernandes, Mount, Martinez, Onana,
O e player I would take to Man Utd is Diazen Maeda from Celtic for his work ethic, pace, tracking back and scoring ability. He would be amazing instead of Garnacho
I agree, it’s not the manager, s,, it’s the players it self, take away the selfish ones😎🙏
Why get rid of Garnacho. He was our most dangerous and productive forward before Amorim arrived. And Amorim doesn’t start him at all! Amorim wants to be the star of the team, not the players.
United need a goalkeeper who commands the 6 yard box from corners, Onana is too static on hs line. Maguire turns slower than the QE2, Mount is not the player he was at Chelsea and should be sold. Ericsson ,Casemiro and Lindelof along with Anthony and Zirkzee have to be offloaded. Keep Garnacho. Bring some of the United legends into the dressing room to tell these divas what playing for Manchester United is all about. I’m talking about Keane Scholes and Neville and maybe Ferdinand get them in their faces.
Loan garnacho instead
YES, YES
The formation also has to be changed, hw many teams do u see using such formation. As we look to buying players we also know that 5 defenders cannot bring trophies
Unfortunately Amorim really admires Maguire
Not maguire he’s been class so maybe the rest of the ppl but not maguire
As a gunner supporter I personally think all of them. Include the captain must be given the go rope..and.re.build as arsenal did..
Remember a coach can’t come around and make everyone drink the water out of his cup .The pattern that he wants to drive will never ever suits the game for Manchester united
Get another coach
Zirkzee may have failed to impress but what about the talent in the under 23’s being given a chance instead of spending more money on another failure. Hojland is not ripping up the statistics either so it is fair to say after the expenditure of buying Alexis Sanchez, Angel de Maria, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Depay, Falcao, Martial, Lukaka, Dan James, Fellaini, some of the expensive great talents that never made an impact at United and in all that time very few offensive players have come through from the Academy or been given the opportunity to express their talents.
General points are well made but Fellaini was always reliable, made the best of his strengths and admittedly limited abilities, led by example and never gave less than his all and it was the Boards fault for not backing Moyes in the window that he ended up costing so much. Moyes even said he wouldn’t have bought him if his other requests were granted. Dan James was relatively cheap at £15m and whilst never a great talent he was sold at a £10m profit.
Time for change bring on the youngs ones from the acadamy as they will be hungry to play for utd clear out the ones you dont want as english football should be about english players who have been home grown the amount of money utd pay out for foriegn players
Most clubs like utd wast money
Sometimes recruiting a player that the Coach does not fancy is suicidal but he will not suit the style of play. Zirkzee to me, suits the slow buildups and inter-passing moves, not the physical English style. You cannot blame him but those who recruited him
M one of the admirers of Joshua Zirkzee and sad to see him cropped out after such a short stint but m however agreeable with him going to Italy to retrace his performance.
Zirkzee may have been good for the Italian Serie A but proved hopeless on the Premier League.
Very well said. Money down the drain.
United need skillful midfielders that can attack and pass leatal balls to the strikers .goal keeper Mus go.united always hAd a keeper to lead them from the back
Dan James, got there money back 15m lost 89m on pogba
my view is: Let us steady the ship and prepare for next season. We must not expect miracles this season with current crop of players who, amongst other reasons, cannot cope with any system introduced by the Coach. Was anything wrong with ETH, or other previous Managers? Answer is: The players. High salaries, under performance and toxicity. Introduce academy players and build a project like the ’92 squad
And you and everyone else think by doing that they gona win trophies. Cause thats what everu other manager did. Sell players and bought players. And yeg still the same problem but only worse than ever now
We should sale, Maguire, Evans,Eriksen,Shaw,casemiro and Zirkzee.
These players are Old and paid a lot of funds,so let’s get young boy from academy or we buy talented players else Way.
We shall deliver in Jesus Christ name.
Thanks Robin the current coach manager,we have trust in you thanks so far. Am Alfred mugasa mpuuga, in Uganda.
What about Anthony and Mount?
Sell
When you see the results of Man U and Man C it wpuld appear that players from both sides are being paid to much so no incentive to play their best.
AMORIM, WHAT ABOUT GRANACHO, BRUNO IS ONE OF THE PROBLEM SIDE LINE HIM, THE TRUTH IS YOU ARE RACISM RUBÉN AMORIM, VAN NISTERROOY COACH 3 OUT OF 3 WHEN YOU ARRIVE WHERE WAS OUR POSITION YOU HAVE DEMOTED THE CLUB, INFACT THE CLUB IS BIGGER THAN YOU AMORIM.
YOU ARE NOT FIT TO COACH UNITED
why not use our academy players, like feggie did when he promoted the likes of Giggs and co. Let the coach integrate them they will play for the badge.
The coach must act now rather letter. This is the write time. 14 players must go. No hesitation we are tired. Start a new. Find player without no name give them time we shall see something good. Under 23 there plenty why not give a chance to young hanger to perform. I submitte
I’m tired of these current set of managers. Man utd’s academy youth players are in it’s DNA, yet they sign multi million pound soft league ‘potential’.
Man utd was built on fast attacking football, great young wingers, hard working intelligent midfielders, and lots of gritty passion and arrogance to play the game and believe we’re the best.
Utd manager’s must learn to trust the DNA, not their own ego’s so called philosophy.
This is what I was looking for.
The clubs philosophy as established by the legendary Alex Furguson. I don’t even think Amorin is the right coach fir Man U.
Man u was a great attacking team. With a balanced squad from the academy and they would never do bulk purchases..only smart recruitment of senior players to boost the academy. They always had a dangerous front 3 and solid defensive and creative players and goal keepers..Onana is the worst goal keeper I have seen in the premier league.
There is talent in the academy..many old tired players especially in defence and midfield.
Every club goes through a spell and consequently it’s happening in Man Utd. Relatively as it maybe there are some players in the squad now that are liabilities like Casemiro, Mount, Eriksen, Antony is even the worst amongst them that should be shipped out ASAP and a couple of others. I also think that the captaincy of the club should be addressed. Bruno is not a leader. Amorin the coach should also get to business and address the faltering performance otherwise he will also be gone ….
Amorim has failed to impress with his formation and pacing and should follow Zirkzee out of the door
It is,pointless selling experience players and wasting money on failures the club has,top players,on loan and top quality players in the squad,get rid of the trouble makers onana is,not a penalty stopper and is,not a,top.world class,Goalkeeper man utd have always,had top.world class experienced Goalkeepers till Erik Ten hag came in and decided with sir jim.radcliffe to change things make man utd another middlesborough out fit club
Agreed with you brother
Its actually true that the aging players who lack the energy to pump up the team are doing no good to the club. It’s better to get some of the youth players from the academy and a few players from elsewhere with high potential to get the red devils on track.
Sometimes it helps to sell players like that but in other cases it backfires. It’s all about patience sometimes so that the coach also understands the strengths and weaknesses of his players. How can he understand suc h players let alone his best 11 if he brings in a fresh set of players every game in the name of rotating players. To me the coach himself could be another problem because he doesn’t understand English football.
Ten Hag did the same thing when he came to OT. He tried to bring his own players (whom he had worked with before). Everyone listened. And what happened. Who said those players Amorim wants to bring will suit the English league. He may bring all 11 or so but still fail. He performed well in a small league in Portugal. Now he is under real test. His approach is also suspicious. Remember all these coaches who came after Sir Alex were said to be best coaches in the world. But our cabinet is still dry (league cup)
i’d love bruno Fernandes to be given a competition in his position.. He is as it is too comfortable playing awful.
He arrived at the club overweight and unfit and never looking like he was able for the pace of English football
AMORIM YOU HAVE ADDED TO MAN UNITED PROBLEMS, RASHFORD ISN’T THE PROBLEM, SINCE YOU DECIDED TO SIDELINE HIM WHAT HAVE YOU GAIN, HOW MANY MATCHES OR POINT DOES MAN UTD HAVE
Portugal coach not really good compare to Spain or Italy .
I don’t believe they’re good …
Let The Coach Sell Players Not Good For His Formation, Or Change The Formation.
Man utd should go for p.pogba and get osimeh for 9. Stop using martinez for back 3 and stop using Ahmad for the front 3 use him for wing back man utd will play better
Please work as a team
Don’t be disheartened,
Respect,
Those who are not performing, sell them,
Do whatever possible to keep the good momentum of the team.
God Blesses
Sell everybody and buy the liverpool team
Amorim has to understand that his 3-4-2-1 formation will not work in the EPL. He has to know that he must change his formations in a bid to outsmart other managers in thee EPL. MAN U has failed woefully under Amorim because all the managers knows he will stick to his formation and so they prepare to not only make it ineffective but also try to capitalize on the flaws of the formation. A good manager does not stick with one formation but switches formations as thee occasion demands. That way u win matches and keep your opponents guessing. Haven said that, Amorim must look for a world class striker like Victor Osimhen or Victor Gyokores cos Hojlund is not a striker but a hustler who dies not know why he is on the pitch. He does not have positioning, neither does he have intelligence on and off thee ball. He scores mostly rebounds and thinks he is a striker. Naaaaa. Raahford can be turned around if he ditches the current managers of his career cos he need to know that he has to be focused on his career rather than living like a musical star.
United should adopt a strategy of buying from within(from premier league) like fergie used to do with players like…Schmeichel, Cantona, saha, rio, Rooney, berbatov, Carrick just to name. It’s better to pay alot for a player with premier league experience that to go for a so called stars from other leagues. Nowadays even our biggest rivals have adopted that strategy n that’s why you see them performing well. Also learn how to give your academy graduate a chance cuz they have club philosophy in their dna.
Enough of these poor performances. It is time for Man United to get their glory once again. Thanks to Ruben Armorim.
My point of view is change your formation and let us play English football not European stile it never worked because the coach before Fergie tried and failed dismally.For me it’s time we sell all foreign players and start afresh with academy graduates and some of our youthful players at U/18,21,23. Even our woman’s team is better then our mens team because the play English style of football.
We need to sign the players from 6-9 in from with club standing or running for there tittle race and reconstruct this team to MAN UTD that know I would give a serious suggestions to this club ARDUR GULER KRAVRATHSKELIA LEVILING and let’s build from there
