While Manchester United look to strengthen Ruben Amorim’s squad in the winter transfer window, they may also have to contend with departures.One player who could push for a move is striker Joshua

He had a nightmare against Everton.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that he feels for Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo. A five game unbeaten run dissolved in a 1-0 defeat to 10 men Everton on Monday night, and now United are sat in 10th place, far off a top four spot.

A 4-0 victory over Lithuania on Monday secured the Netherlands their place at the 2026 World Cup, their 12th entry at the finals. The four goal scorers — Tijjani Reijnders, Cody Gakpo, Xavi Simons and Donyell Malen – made for familiar reading for Premier League viewers.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says he will put the club first when it comes to potential January transfers. Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee are both yet to start for the Red Devils this season and have been linked with winter exits in a bid to play regularly in the second half of the season ahead of World Cup 2026.

Matthijs de Ligt says Manchester United must stick together, pinpoint their problems and bounce back from Monday’s “really bad night” at home to 10-man Everton. Boos greeted the end of the Red Devils’ five-match unbeaten run as they failed to capitalise on Idrissa Gana Gueye’s remarkable early sending off for slapping team-mate Michael Keane.
