Zirkzee stays at United after Amorim changes mind
Manchester United began the 2025/26 Premier League season with a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford, as Riccardo Calafiori headed in after a goalkeeping error by Altay Bayindir. United showed moments of promise but could not find an equaliser. In the build-up, Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund and other players were omitted, while new signings Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo featured.
Key Takeaways
"Manchester United consider Joshua Zirkzee not for sale this summer."
Romano reports the board and Amorim are not entertaining bids.
"I think he's improving in a lot of aspects."
Amorim on Zirkzee's progress.
"He needs to be more selfish, and that is a thing when you play as a striker."
Amorim on improving Zirkzee’s edge in front of goal.
Joshua Zirkzee, who was unused against Arsenal, has been at the center of transfer chatter this summer. Napoli were mentioned as a potential destination to replace Lukaku if his thigh injury keeps him out for three months, with other Italian clubs also named. Yet Fabrizio Romano later stated that United are not selling Zirkzee this summer and that the board and Amorim made the decision months ago. The situation highlights how a club can protect a developing player while navigating a restless transfer market.
Highlights
- Stability beats a rushed window
- Trust the plan not the rumor mill
- Youth deserves a longer look
- Patience can be a small victory in football
The market tests patience as much as talent, and United seem to prize a longer horizon.
