Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is reportedly open to offloading summer signing Joshua Zirkzee in the January transfer window.

The lack of goals is a big concern for Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, and the 39-year-old has reportedly made a decision to enter the market for a reliable goalscorer.

Joshua Zirkzee, who arrived from Bologna in the summer, has scored just 4 times in 25 appearances, and has been particularly poor in recent matches.

According to Quotidiano Sportivo, the Red Devils have had enough and will look to cash out in January.

The asking price is believed to be around £33 million, as they look to recoup the transfer fee to faciltate a move for the likes of Victor Osimhen or Viktor Gyokeres.

Meanwhile, United remain intent on selling Marcus Rashford in the coming window.

The forward has been left out of Amorim's last 4 matchday squads and is unlikely to be anywhere near the team for the visit of Newcastle.

Rashford has interest from Saudi Arabia but it is unclear whether the 27-year-old prefers to remain in Europe.
