December 2025

Roma have opened talks with Manchester United over a January move for Joshua Zirkzee, with the club ready to cut short Evan Ferguson’s disappointing loan after just one goal in 14 games and reshape their forward line for the second half of the season. Sporting director Frederic Massara has approval from the Friedkin Group and plans a UK visit to push a loan deal with option to buy, while United prefer either a permanent sale or an obligation. Zirkzee is keen to return to Serie A, where his link play and movement suit Gasperini’s forward-focused system.

Ruben Amorim
December 2025

Manchester United squandered a chance to climb into the Premier League’s top five by drawing 1-1 at home to struggling West Ham, with Ruben Amorim again leaving Kobbie Mainoo unused as United laboured creatively and conceded a late equaliser after Diogo Dalot’s opener. Pressed on Mainoo’s absence, Amorim bristled, insisting he is tired of repeated questions, that England starts do not dictate his selections and he simply chooses the “best players”, refusing to guarantee more minutes even when AFCON absences may open space in his midfield.
