‘Sitting idle, on the edge’ – Manchester United player losing trust in Ruben Amorim

On Tuesday, Voetbal International reported that Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee is pushing for a move to AS Roma.

The Dutch outlet explained the Giallorossi are seeking an initial loan, with the Red Devils yet to give a final approval to the move.

Despite that, there was confidence about a January transfer.

Today, Corriere dello Sport delve deeper into the Manchester United player’s intentions.

The newspaper report that the striker is willing to wait for a move to Roma. The Italian club are the only side he is being patient for, knowing that negotiations will be slow. He is ready to be ‘sitting idle, on the edge’ and with the confidence that he will join Roma.

The Netherlands international is said to have doubts about Ruben Amorim and his system at Manchester United. That is why he is keen on playing under Gian Piero Gasperini.

The Italian has an excellent track record of bringing the most out of attacking players. He has promised Zirkzee a central place in the club’s project and that’s attracting the player.

Besides, the 24-year-old wants to play at the World Cup. He sees Gasperini’s system as suitable to his strengths, meaning it can help be picked by the Netherlands.

Roma’s offer of an initial loan worth €5m and an obligation to buy of €35m is on the table. There is belief that Manchester United are taking time with the proposal, as they also await more offers.
