United ended a run of four straight defeats on Sunday, earning a well-deserved point against Premier League leaders Liverpool. ..Continue Reading
Liverpool were fortunate to escape with a point after initially falling behind to a stunning strike from Lisandro Martinez. However, Cody Gakpo equalized, and Mo Salah’s penalty put the hosts ahead.
Despite trailing, United continued to challenge Arne Slot’s side and leveled the score through Amad Diallo with 10 minutes remaining.
In the final moments, Harry Maguire missed a golden opportunity to win the game, sending the ball over the bar from close range.
Despite the improved performance, Amorim’s relationship with a United star has reportedly reached a breaking point.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Amorim is now eager to sell Joshua Zirkzee due to their relationship completely breaking down.
The report suggests Zirkzee could return to Serie A, with Juventus interested in signing the 23-year-old.
However, a deal seems unlikely as Juventus prefers a loan arrangement, while Amorim and United want to offload Zirkzee permanently.
Zirkzee has scored more goals (3) in fewer minutes than fellow forward Rasmus Hojlund, but Amorim seems to favor the Dane’s profile.
The Dutch international was recently substituted to boos and jeers from his own fans after just 30 minutes against Newcastle.
This incident left Zirkzee close to tears as he stormed down the Old Trafford tunnel, prompting Gary Neville to express sympathy for the striker during commentary.
“I actually feel sorry for Joshua Zirkzee,” Neville said on Sky Sports.
“I know he’s earning a lot of money but there is a human being in there that’s basically been cheered off by his own fans. That is brutal. I’ve not seen that too many times in the 43 years I’ve been coming here.”
