Manchester United's January transfer window strategy is in flux, with potential exits for Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo. Zirkzee, deemed surplus to requirements by manager Ruben Amorim, is expected to leave on loan with an option to buy, with AS Roma leading the race. Mainoo, however, is a different story. Sources indicate that Mainoo has 'lost belief in the current setup' and is pushing for a move, but United is reluctant to let him go due to a lack of suitable replacements. This situation is further complicated by the uncertain futures of Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro, with the latter's contract negotiations and potential move to the MLS adding another layer of complexity. Meanwhile, Everton is reportedly considering a double loan approach for both players, but Premier League rules may restrict this. The club's focus on long-term additions and the search for new midfield options amidst the uncertainty surrounding key players will shape their January transfer window.
