January 2026

Bryan Mbeumo said Jonny Evans helped create the set-piece routine that produced United’s opener in a 2-0 win over Tottenham after Spurs went down to 10 men. Romero was sent off for a reckless challenge on Casemiro. United scored soon after from a rehearsed low corner: Fernandes played it to Mainoo’s run, Mainoo redirected into Mbeumo’s path, and Mbeumo finished first time. Mbeumo said the routine was practiced in training and credited Evans, with analyst Kaita Hasegawa also involved.

Zirkzee says yes to Roma as minutes dry up under Amorim at Man Utd

Joshua Zirkzee
December 2025

Zirkzee has reportedly given a verbal green light to join Roma in January after just one goal and four starts this season, having slid behind Sesko and Cunha in United’s striker pecking order. He sees Serie A as the best route to secure regular minutes before the 2026 World Cup. Roma sporting director Ricky Massara and coach Gian Piero Gasperini convinced him he fits their 3-4-2-1 system, but any move hinges on United’s depth during AFCON absences for Mbeumo and Amad. Amorim has warned no exit will be sanctioned without a replacement, arguing the squad is already thin and cannot afford to weaken further.

United delay Zirkzee decision as injuries bite and minutes remain scarce

Joshua Zirkzee
December 2025

Manchester United have opted to postpone a call on Joshua Zirkzee’s future until later in January, despite the striker’s limited role. He has made 11 appearances but only four starts, logging 372 minutes and one goal while sitting behind Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha in Ruben Amorim’s No.9 hierarchy. With wide forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo away at AFCON and Bruno Fernandes plus Kobbie Mainoo injured, United are wary of further weakening depth before the window’s final weeks. The club will reassess once the injury and fixture picture is clearer, balancing Zirkzee’s need for minutes against squad protection.
