New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim appears set to approve a January loan move for forward Joshua Zirkzee, just six months after the Dutch striker arrived at Old Trafford.
Zirkzee joined United for £36.5 million as their first summer signing, committing to a five-year contract, but he has struggled to make an impact.

Ruben Amorim set to Offload Joshua Zirkzee
Since his debut, the 22-year-old has started only four Premier League matches, with his lone goal coming in the season opener against Fulham.
This slow start has led United to consider a loan arrangement to help Zirkzee gain more experience and confidence on the field.
Ruben Amorim, known for his strategic approach to player development, is reportedly on board with the decision to send Zirkzee out on loan, and Juventus has emerged as a possible destination.
According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, the Serie A club has expressed interest in the young forward, viewing him as a potential boost to their attacking lineup.
This move could offer Zirkzee valuable playing time and a fresh environment to refine his skills, while United monitors his progress with hopes he can eventually become a more consistent contributor.
The loan spell, if confirmed, may be a pivotal step for both Zirkzee and United as they seek to strengthen their options.
