Romano: Amorim is determined not to let Zirkzee leave; Menu wants to join Napoli

Hupu News on November 19th. The famous reporter Romano previously updated his personal Youtube video podcast. He also talked about the situation of many teams and many players in the winter window. Romano also talked about Sheshko's injury situation, as well as Manchester United's internal and coach Amorim's views on Menu and Zirkzee, two players in the team who lacked playing opportunities.

About Sheshko's injury

According to reports, the Manchester United coaching staff, after comprehensive evaluation and judgment, predicts that forward Sheshko will return to the team in early December and participate in the team's joint training. The forward from Slovenia is expected to miss about three weeks due to this injury. Fortunately, his injury is not serious, and it is not a long-term injury that requires a long period of rest as reported by some media 10 days ago.

Therefore, Sheshko is likely to miss home games against Everton and West Ham United at Old Trafford, as well as away games to Crystal Palace and Wolves. United hope Sheszko can return after this period, when key attackers Amad Diallo and Mbemo will represent Ivory Coast and Cameroon respectively in the African Cup of Nations.

Looking back at the injury situation, in the 11th round of the Premier League match between Manchester United and Tottenham, Sheshko unfortunately injured his knee during the game and was eventually forced to leave the field. After this, the Slovenia national team also issued a relevant announcement, making it clear that Seshko will not be able to participate in this month's international match day due to this injury.

About Zirkzee's future after Sheshko's injury

Zirkzee has always been one of the key players that Manchester United needs to deal with in the winter window. There have been reports that he hopes to leave the team in January next year. As far as I know, Roma has called to inquire about Zirkzee's situation. They intend to bring Zirkzee back to Italy, but it is up to Manchester United to decide whether Zirkzee leaves or stays. Manchester United will have to make a final decision on whether Zirkzee can leave. Sheshko was injured recently. Although the injury was not serious, he was still injured after all. Moreover, the African Cup of Nations is about to start, and Manchester United will have some players unable to play.

So, Manchester United will definitely have to make a decision on whether Zirkzee should stay or go. According to the internal information I have learned, Amorim has always advocated keeping this player. In addition, Zirkzee could only sit on the bench for most of the first half of the season, and he was particularly eager to have the opportunity to play. So let's see how Zirkzee and Manchester United reach a solution in the coming weeks.

About Menu's future situation

Because Anguissa and De Bruyne are both injured, Menu has always been on the candidate list for Naples midfielder signings, and Menu himself is also very interested in transferring to Naples. A note of caution here: There have been recent rumors that this deal may include a buyout clause, but in fact, Manchester United has never considered such a plan since August. Menu also hopes to leave Manchester United on a purely loan basis. After all, he is a player trained by Manchester United's youth training and has a deep affection for the club. Manchester United's attitude is very clear: if they agree to release him, they will only accept a pure loan. Menu's future direction depends entirely on the next decision of Manchester United management and Amorim.

Regarding Manchester United’s possible pursuit of Bournemouth striker Semayo in the winter window

As far as I know, Semeyo’s release clause in the January transfer window is 65 million pounds. The fee is made up of a £60m fixed fee and £5m in add-ons.

In addition, the amount of the release clause will be slightly reduced next summer, but it will not be lower than the 50 million pounds that was rejected at the beginning of the last transfer window.

It is reported that Semayo is very happy at Bournemouth and has no intention of actively requesting a transfer this season, but he is expected to leave the team after the end of the season, and the club has accepted this.
