Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has reacted to Joshua Zirkzee's latest disappointing showing in the 1-1 draw with Ipswich.
Josua Zirkzee was a 68th-minute substitute in Manchester United's 1-1 draw against Ipswich at Portman Road.
The idea from Amorim was to add more firepower to the Red Devils attack, and taking off Christian Eriksen, a midfielder, for Zirkzee was supposed to increase the visitors' presence in the box.
Zirkzee's introduction made little difference as he was ponderous in possession and failed to make any threatening runs, spending the best part of 30 minutes outside the box.

Amorim sends message to Joshua Zirkzee
After the game, Amorim spoke about Zirkzee's struggles.
)
"At the end of the game with two scorers, Josh [Zirkzee] has to understand that he has to go into the box for the crosses."
Zirkzee has now scored just one goal in 16 appearances since his move from Bologna in the summer.
There are rumours that Amorim will look to bring in a new striker in the January window, and Zirkzee must take his chances or risk being pushed further down the pecking order.
