Joshua Zirkzee Seeks Transfer Exit Amid Limited Role at Manchester United Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has expressed a desire to leave the club this summer, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. The 24-year-old Dutch player, who joined United from Bologna in a £36.5m deal in 2024, has reportedly opened the door to a potential transfer ahead of the summer window. Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, confirmed that Zirkzee is eager to move clubs and that several Premier League and Italian teams are already in contact regarding a potential transfer. Zirkzee has faced limited playing time this season, making only four Premier League starts and appearing as an unused substitute in two consecutive matches. His last appearance in the league came in a 2-1 loss to Newcastle earlier this month. Since the start of the year, he has played just 28 minutes of Premier League football, with his only goal of the 2025/26 campaign coming in a 1-1 draw against Wolves in December. Despite his contributions, his role at United has remained peripheral, prompting speculation about his future. Romano emphasized that while Zirkzee will continue to focus on performing for United during the remainder of the season, his long-term goal is to leave the club in the summer. The journalist noted that Premier League clubs have already reached out to assess interest in signing the forward, alongside Italian teams. This aligns with reports that Zirkzee’s contract, which includes a five-year deal, is set to expire in June 2029, leaving room for a potential exit. United’s management has also been actively pursuing new contracts for key players. Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and defender Harry Maguire are in advanced talks over extended deals.#manchester_united #premier_league #bologna #fabrizio_romano #joshua_zirkzee
Michael Carrick sends subtle Bruno Fernandes message to INEOS after Fabrizio Romano reveals ‘serious proposals’ Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick has emphasized the significance of Bruno Fernandes to the club, sending a message to co-owners INEOS amid ongoing speculation about the attacking midfielder’s future. Fernandes, 31, has been a consistent performer for the Red Devils, contributing both goals and assists across multiple managers. His recent display in a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace highlighted his value, as he scored a penalty and assisted Benjamin Sesko’s goal, helping United move up to third in the Premier League. Fernandes’ performance against Palace marked a milestone, making him the third player in Man Utd history to reach over 100 goals and 100 assists, following Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs. The Portuguese star is set to face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Wednesday, with his season tally of seven goals and 14 assists already impressive. Carrick praised Fernandes’ impact, stating in a pre-match press conference that the player’s contributions “sum up Bruno as a character” and that his place in club history is “irrelevant” to him. Despite his importance, Fernandes’ future remains uncertain. The player is under contract until the summer of 2027, with an option for an additional year. While he has previously turned down offers from Saudi Pro League clubs, Fabrizio Romano reported that interest from Saudi teams persists. Romano noted that Fernandes received “serious proposals” from Al-Hilal, including “very big offers,” during the 2023 transfer window. The midfielder chose to stay at Old Trafford, prioritizing his role in helping the club succeed. Romano emphasized that financial considerations are not the primary factor in Fernandes’ potential departure.#manchester_united #michael_carrick #fabrizio_romano #bruno_fernandes #ineos
Eduardo Camavinga to Miss Match Against Getafe Due to Dental Issue Eduardo Camavinga, the 23-year-old Spanish midfielder for Real Madrid, will miss today’s La Liga encounter against Getafe due to a dental problem that could impact his performance on the pitch. According to sources, the French player is unable to risk playing while experiencing discomfort from a toothache, which is attributed to a misalignment issue. While the injury itself is not severe, the persistent dental pain has raised concerns about his ability to perform effectively during the match. The absence of Camavinga is confirmed by official statements, with the club’s medical team emphasizing that the issue is temporary. Fabrizio Romano, a well-known football journalist, reported on the situation, noting that the player’s absence is not related to a serious injury but rather a dental condition. The club has expressed optimism about his quick recovery, with medical staff expecting him to return to training soon. Camavinga has been a key player for Real Madrid this season, appearing in 30 matches and contributing two goals along with one assist. His campaign has already faced interruptions, including a previous injury to his ankle in August 2025, which kept him sidelined for 49 days. A swift return to full fitness would provide stability to the team, especially after a challenging season. The decision to sit out the match against Getafe highlights the club’s prioritization of the player’s health over short-term tactical considerations. While the dental issue may seem minor, its potential impact on his performance underscores the importance of addressing such concerns promptly. Fans and analysts will now await updates on his recovery timeline, as his availability could influence the team’s dynamics in upcoming fixtures.#la_liga #real_madrid #getafe #eduardo_camavinga #fabrizio_romano
