British media: West Ham is preparing to rent Zirkzee in the winter window, but Manchester United is unwilling to let him go

According to British media inews, West Ham is preparing to loan Zirkzee in the winter window, but Manchester United is unwilling to let the Dutch forward leave the team.

British media inews reported that West Ham is preparing to loan Zirkzee in the winter window. Although Manchester United is unwilling to let him leave, the player is dissatisfied with the lack of game time. He is not in a hurry to transfer, but is willing to explore his options in the winter window. Manchester United's senior management agrees with Amorim's view that neither Zirkzee nor Menu will be allowed to leave in the winter window.

However, two different sources told inews that West Ham are undeterred and will try to bring Zirkzee to London, most likely on loan until the end of the season. Manchester United are currently not under any pressure to sell players. In addition to West Ham, three Italian clubs are also paying close attention to Zirkzee's situation, one of which is Roma.

Some people believe that if Zirkzee becomes anxious, Manchester United may allow him to leave the team on loan to allow him to further develop, and plan to bring him back next season, when Manchester United's schedule may be tighter. United have no European competition this season and a first-round exit from the Carabao Cup means they are mostly playing one game a week.

Such a schedule gives players sufficient recovery time, thereby reducing the need for regular lineup rotation. Normally, Zirkzee will get some playing time in cup games. However, with Sheszko, Cunha and Mbemo all adapting well and Amorim preferring Mount as one of the No. 10s, Zirkzee is yet to start this season.

It is understood that Zirkzee is very popular in the locker room. He celebrated wildly after defeating Liverpool on Sunday. This is not the performance of a player who wants to leave the team, but sitting on the bench for a long time during the World Cup may change his mind. At present, the club and the player himself have not made any decision. If Zirkzee leaves, Obi Martin could be recalled to the first team.

West Ham’s interest in Zirkzee is because they are the team with the second fewest goals in the Premier League this season, scoring only 6 goals in 8 games. United are typically reluctant to sanction loans to Premier League rivals, but if they continue their recent progress and return to the top of the table, a loan move to West Ham would be more likely to be considered.

As for Menu, if he sits on the bench for as long as Zirkzee, he may try to leave the team on loan again.
