The player is actively exploring options to leave Manchester United during the upcoming winter transfer window. Zirkzee's desire to leave is driven by the greater concern of enhancing his chances of securing a place in the Netherlands national team for the 2026 World Cup.
The player is suffering from a noticeable lack of playing minutes under coach Ruben Amorim, which threatens his position in the national team's plans as the global event approaches. Zirkzee has participated in a limited number of matches this season, prompting him to seek a club that guarantees him regular participation to restore his technical and physical form.
Jacobs pointed out that Zirkzee is in urgent need of playing regularly as a starter, which is pushing him to strongly urge his club's management to agree to let him leave, even on loan, in January.
Several clubs are closely monitoring the Dutch forward, from Italy and Spain.
