Manchester United continue to struggle, with the club only having one clean sheet in their first seven Premier League matches. 

Goals have also been hard to come by, despite the summer arrivals in their attack. 

Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko are starting to find their form, with the latter having scored two goals in his last two matches. 

The additions of these new faces has left Joshua Zirkzee with few minutes, and the Dutch international has become unhappy with his place on the bench. 

Zirkzee has been linked with a move away in January to secure playing time, and a new update from Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Zirkzee wants to leave Man United immediately and could opt for a loan move. 

There are several clubs scouting Zirkzee, with interest from the Premier League and Serie A, where Zirkzee played previously.

Which clubs are interested in Zirkzee?

Roma are considering a move for the out-of-favor United man, with the club known for taking chances on fringe Premier League players. 

The Italian club has signed Evan Ferguson, Leon Bailey, and Konstantinos Tsimikas all from Premier League clubs. 

Zirkzee has also been scouted by Juventus and Como in the Serie A. 

West Ham are also reportedly looking into Zirkzee, as their attacking issues perist. Everton, Brighton, and Aston Villa have also shown an interest in the Dutchman. 

Zirkzee's World Cup hopes could depend on whether he gets his wish to leave in January, with the striker needing more consistent playing time to show Netherlands's boss Ronald Koeman he can deliver goals.
