Man United are heading into the weekend looking to win their fourth league game in a row under Ruben Amorim. They play against Nottingham Forest, and could climb up to second in the Premier League table with a win against Sean Dyche’s side.
However, looking at the long term, Man United will be keen to improve Amorim’s squad in the January transfer window. But, United spent over £170m in the summer, so they may need to see some players leave before they can bring in more talent to help Amorim get this United team back into Europe.

Striker Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with a move away in the winter, with multiple clubs from the Serie A reportedly keen. The Dutchman has struggled to get consistent form at Old Trafford, and could manufacture a move in search of more game time ahead of the World Cup in the summer.

Man United could swap Zirkzee for AC Milan star
Reports in Italy have begun to claim that AC Milan have identified Zirkzee as a player who could help boost their attacking options, as they are looking to add more firepower up front in January. Italian news outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan are interested, but unlikely to make a move.
The report does say that if United were to offer the 24-year-old to Milan, they could be willing to make a move. However, the Red Devils could use this chance to help fill a need that they have. United are desperate for a holding midfielder who can help to control the midfield alongside Bruno Fernandes.
They have been linked to the likes of Carlos Baleba and Elliot Anderson in the Premier League. Both of whom are expected to cost over £100m in the January window, which is simply not doable for United. They could instead offer AC Milan a swap involving midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.Striker Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with a move away in the winter, with multiple clubs from the Serie A reportedly keen.
