Amorim was visibly frustrated with Man Utd ace several times at Plzen, Fernandes had a go at him | OneFootball

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim was visibly frustrated with Joshua Zirkzee for constantly losing the ball against Viktoria Plzen last night, according to the Manchester Evening News.

The Netherlands international striker lost possession 16 times in the first half and five times after the break, and the Red Devils boss was not the only person having a go at him during the game.

Man United captain Bruno Fernandes was also critical of Zirkzee when he gave the ball away early on and forced him to commit a foul.

Amorim turned to his coaching staff whenever the summer signing lost the ball in the first half, and it is evident that his style of play does not fit the manager’s high-intensity approach.

Zirkzee needs to improve significantly if he wants to establish himself as a key player at Man United, and he risks being sold in the summer if nothing changes about his overall game.

He cannot keep giving the ball away and failing to press constantly, as those elements could cost him his future at the Old Trafford club.

The Dutchman has already been linked with an exit ahead of the January transfer window after starting nine out of the 22 appearances he has made across all competitions.

He has scored just three goals, and Man United could look to sell him and sign Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres at the end of the season.

Reuniting with the Swedish international could be more appealing to him if Zirkzee continues playing as he did last night until the end of the season.

Gyokeres has scored 25 goals in 23 appearances this term and will be a huge upgrade on the options Man United have in their striking department right now.
