This summer, Manchester United made a big signing on the front line and bought three main players, Cunha, Mbeumo and Sheshko. Since Manchester United has no European competition to play in and was eliminated from the League Cup early, Manchester United can almost only play one game a week. Under this circumstance, many players have very little playing time this season. One of them is Zirkzee, who only made four substitute appearances in all competitions and played a total of 92 minutes.

With Mount in hot form, Zirkzee has become Amorim's fifth striker choice. Unless there are major injuries on Manchester United's front line, this situation will be difficult to change before the winter window. Because of this, the 24-year-old Zirkzee is eager to leave Old Trafford in exchange for stable playing opportunities. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, the former Bologna ace hopes to be selected for the Dutch national team.

Within the Premier League, teams including West Ham United, Everton and other teams are very interested in Zirkzee, but returning to Italy to play seems to be the most logical - he is familiar with the environment there. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma and Como are the two most promising clubs. The Red Wolves plan to loan Zirkzee in the winter window, while Como, coached by Cesc Fabregas, is preparing to make a permanent transfer offer.

The report wrote: "Zierkeze had the best season of his career when he was wearing a Bologna shirt. Because of this, the Dutch forward once again set his sights on Serie A during the trough of his career. At Manchester United, he had almost no ball to play; he was unhappy, and many clubs were already aiming to sign him in the winter window. Gasperini's Roma is in the lead, and they hope to sign Zirkzee to strengthen them. Striker; but don't ignore Serie A dark horse Como. Although they have no European competition to play in (less attractive), they have better financial resources than Roma. Roma prefers to loan Zirkzee due to Financial Fair Play restrictions. And Cuomo, who is financially strong and ambitious, is seriously considering buying out Zirkzee directly. "

Last summer, Manchester United management spent 42.5 million euros to bring Zirkzee to the Premier League. He scored 7 goals and provided 3 assists in 53 games. Despite poor performances, United's hierarchy are unlikely to agree to a permanent sale of him in the short term. Coach Ruben Amorim is also unwilling to lose the versatile striker. But Zirkzee has decided to leave and hopes to return to Serie A to revive his career. Especially after seeing his former strike partner Hoylen explode in Naples, Zirkzee didn't want to waste time at Manchester United.
