Joshua Zirkzee has 'said yes' to AS Roma and will leave Manchester United to join the Serie A giants in January, according to Italian reports. However, the forward scored just seven goals in 49 appearances last season and has rarely featured under Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim, who replaced ten Hag last November. It is not expected to be a straightforward deal, however, after Amorim vowed that players could only leave Old Trafford if replacements are brought in. 'It's going to be hard for someone to leave the club if we don't get a substitution,' the United boss said on Wednesday. Kobbie Mainoo could also leave United for Italy in January as he is keen on a move to NapoliHowever, Amorim maintains that the unhappy midfielder still has a big future at Old Trafford.
