United now make approach to sign £26m striker, should replace 23yo on loan - opinion

Manchester United ended 2024 on a disappointing note with a 2-0 Premier League loss to Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils were outclassed in the first half of the encounter. They were unconvincing in both the defensive and attacking departments.

Ruben Amorim’s side improved following the interval, but the Magpies managed to hold onto their lead with relative ease.

Joshua Zirkzee was substituted after just 33 minutes on Monday, and Tuttojuve report that United are looking to replace him.
