but Ruben Amorim needs some players to move on as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/club\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester United<\/a> simply didn\u2019t score enough goals last season, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/ruben-amorim\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ruben Amorim<\/a> wants to change that ahead of his first full Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n<p><a

href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/news\/ruben-amorim-makes-ultimate-decision-on-alejandro-garnacho-transfer-man-utd-players-learn-future-plans\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alejandro Garnacho has been told to leave United<\/a>, and the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony are available.<\/p>\n<p>Progress on their exits has been slow, and United may actually receive interest in a forward Amorim doesn\u2019t want to lose.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"

target=\"_blank\">Joshua Zirkzee<\/a> back to Italy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/news\/joshua-zirkzee-to-manchester-united-confirmed-dan-ashworth-reacts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">United signed Zirkzee from Bologna for \u00a336million<\/a> last summer, and the Dutchman endured a testing start to his Old Trafford career.<\/p>\n<p>Zirkzee was, unfortunately, jeered off the pitch against Newcastle United in December, but showed fantastic mental resolve to turn his campaign around.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutchman was impressive as a number 10 under Amorim and showed the potential to become an important player.<\/p>\n<p>Atalanta are now interested in Zirkzee, with star striker Mateo Retegui nearing a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s stated that a move for Zirkzee is \u2018complex, but far from impossible\u2019 as relations between Atalanta and United are \u2018excellent\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>United have previously paid considerable money to sign Amad and Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta, and the Serie A side are now eyeing a loan-to-buy deal for Zirkzee.<\/p>\n<p>United are seeking funds right now, so allowing Zirkzee to leave on loan just doesn\u2019t seem likely.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to see Zirkzee stay at Old Trafford and kick on in his second season, especially if a loan-to-buy is the only offer on the table.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United eyeing Atalanta star<\/p>\n<p>United would almost certainly rather sell a raft of other attackers before allowing Zirkzee to go, possibly even including former Atalanta man Hojlund.<\/p>\n<p>One factor to consider is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/man-utd-open-talks-to-sign-out-of-this-world-player-to-succeed-casemiro-51m-release-clause-demanded\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">United are interested in Atalanta\u2019s Ederson<\/a>, with the Brazilian midfielder linked with a move to Old Trafford for many months now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/man-utd-asked-about-brazilian-stars-availability-during-discussions-over-atalantas-marco-carnesecchi\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">United are thought to have asked about Ederson<\/a> of late, though the Atalanta star won\u2019t come cheap this summer.<\/p>\n<p>There may be some temptation to pull off an exchange, with Ederson heading to United and Zirkzee moving in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p>We would still rather keep Zirkzee, but United\u2019s need to wheel and deal this summer means few players can be considered \u2018safe\u2019 from being moved on to help improve Amorim\u2019s squad.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are looking to secure
