Dutch striker Zirkjay, who Manchester United acquired from Bologna for a transfer fee of £36.5 million (current exchange rate of about 55 billion won) in July last year, started in the 19th round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Newcastle in the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on December 31 (Korea time), but was replaced early by midfielder Kobe Mainu in the 33rd minute of the first half.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim explained that Zirkzier, who played as a one-top in a situation where he lost consecutive points to Alexander Isaac in the 4th minute and Hoelinton in the 19th minute, was "in pain" and made a "difficult" replacement.
Shocked by the unusual early replacement, Zirkjay immediately dressed up in his jumper and headed to the tunnel, not the bench. At the stadium, some Manchester United fans sarcastically cheered for Zirkjay.
A journalist reported that Zirkjay was "tearful" in the tunnel before returning to the bench.
Less than 24 hours after Manchester United's 0-2 loss, rumors of a transfer surfaced.

The media added that Juventus is willing to recruit him as a full recruitment option after pre-lease. Zirkjay worked with current Juventus manager Thiago Motta in Bologna. He scored 14 goals in 58 matches in Bologna.
Tutsosport predicted that Zirkji's future will be determined by whether Manchester United's main target, Sporting striker Viktor Jockeres, is recruited.
Juventus is unbeaten in Serie A this season, but remains sixth in the league with an instinct of 'uncaught' that draws 11 times (7 wins) in 18 games. The top scorer in his team is Doosan`s Vlahovic, who scored seven goals (16 games). Why new strikers are required.

Manager Amorim excluded Marcus Rashford, the main attacker, from the plan after Manchester Derby in the middle of last month. If Zirkze leaves here, there is a possibility that he will suffer from a striker famine. Currently, Rashford and midfielder Bruno Fernandes (four goals) are the top scorers in the team.
Manchester United, which has been mired in a three-game losing streak in the league, remained 22nd and 14th in points. Amorim, who failed to fire after taking office last month, said he had to accept the fact that he had to fight to stay. To make matters worse, Manchester United will play its first game of the new year in Liverpool on the 6th.
