They now sit 14th-placed in the table, and are without centre-forward Richarlison for the coming weeks whilst he recovers from a hamstring injury.It remains to be seen whether United would give Zirkzee the green light to explore alternative options, given he is poised to struggle massively with game time in the second half of the campaign.Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo are now back from the African Cup of Nations and have resumed their stellar form, which has led to Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha dropping to the bench for the last two matches.Zirkzee awaiting return to action (Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images)The Dutchman was unavailable due to a fitness concern, but will undoubtedly be seeking some clarification from Michael Carrick over the role he’s likely to play from now until the summer.Since 2025/2026 got underway, Zirkzee has made 14 Premier League appearances, with only four coming from the off. He has been an unused substitute seven times already and has accumulated only 482 minutes on the pitch.
