The future of Rosenborg BK player Joshua Zirkzee remains uncertain after a challenging first season and ongoing struggles in England. Despite showing promise during a pre-season friendly against Manchester United last Friday, the Dutchman has failed to establish himself as a regular fixture on the team. His technical abilities have not translated into consistent performances, with Zirkzee struggling to anticipate plays quickly enough or use his physical attributes effectively.

Zirkzee's position in the squad is further complicated by the presence of other players who can cover similar roles. Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha all compete for starting spots in the centre-forward positions. Additionally, selling Zirkzee could be financially beneficial for Manchester United, as he might fetch a fee close to the £36.5 million they paid for him two seasons ago.

While Zirkzee remains a well-liked figure among his teammates and has shown potential, the club may decide it’s best to part ways with him this summer. The Dutchman's time at a big club has spanned two years without significant breakthroughs, making it difficult to justify keeping him in the squad.
