Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has refused to rule out the possibility of letting go of Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee in January. The pair, who have yet to make a significant impact on the pitch this season, are keen to secure regular game time before next summer's World Cup tournament. Both players had their international careers derailed by recent setbacks, and as such, they're eager for moves that can guarantee them some playing time.
Amorim understands the frustration his players must be feeling, especially when it comes to missing out on opportunities. However, he insists that if a transfer is in the best interest of Manchester United, it will happen. The Portuguese boss wants to prioritize the club's needs above all else and ensure that any moves made are strategic.
Mainoo and Zirkzee could potentially profit from recent injuries and departures within the squad. For instance, Benjamin Sesko is injured, while Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo will be absent for the Africa Cup of Nations next month. The absence of Matheus Cunha due to a minor injury may also open up opportunities.
Amorim's reluctance to declare that the storm at Old Trafford has subsided stems from his awareness of how quickly the situation can change in the Premier League. Every game can be won or lost, and he'd rather maintain a watchful eye than let complacency creep into his team's mindset.
In short, while Amorim empathizes with Mainoo and Zirkzee over their current circumstances, the club's goals must come first.
