O The summer transfer market closed less than a month and a half ago, but Ruben Amorim already has his eyes set on January, when the winter transfer market opens. With a season running below expectations, the Portuguese coach is looking to make changes to the squad to improve his options.
In this sense, there are three players in the current squad who have an open exit door at Old Trafford. According to information from ESPNone of the names that could leave Manchester United in January is striker Joshua Zirkzee.
Unhappy with the few minutes that Ruben Amorim has given him and with his presence in the 2026 World Cup in mind, Joshua Zirkzee is determined to leave Manchester United in the next transfer market.
After having had some opportunities over the last few months, the Dutchman has fallen into options and leaving is the most plausible scenario. The forward could return to Serie A, where he shone at Bologna. According to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, AS Roma is one of the clubs keeping an eye on the forward.
West Ham and Everton, two clubs that could give Zirkzee the opportunity to continue in the Premier League, are also interested in the Netherlands international, but the Dutchman, who this season was an option for Amorim on only four occasions, for a total of 112 minutes, also prioritizes a return to Italian football.
Another name that could be leaving is Kobbie Mainoo. The England international has been affected by the fact that Ruben Amorim only uses two midfielders – usually between Ugarte, Casemiro or Bruno Fernandes – and has only played 233 minutes after six games played. Napoli could be the midfielder’s destination.
Tyrell Malacia could also leave Old Trafford in January. After missing out on a move to Spanish side Elche in the final days of the summer transfer market, the Dutch full-back remains on Manchester United’s transfer list.
According to information published by the British newspaper Manchester Evening NewsGalatasaray is keeping an eye on the left-footed player and could move forward with an offer when the transfer market reopens next January.
Tyrell Malacia ends his contract with Manchester United in June 2026, meaning he could leave Manchester United in the winter market for a symbolic fee.
Recruited from Feyenoord in June 2022, Tyrell Malacia has played 47 games for the Red Devils’ first team and one for the under-21s. In between, he spent a season on loan at PSV, where he was an option in 12 matches.
