The Dutchman is having a difficult season at Old Trafford. Coach Ruben Amorim spent around £200 million to strengthen the team, bringing in players like Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko.

As a result, Zirkzee has found himself on the bench: he hasn’t started any matches and has only been brought on in the last four minutes of a few games.

Even after the departure of Rasmus Hojlund, who went on loan to Napoli in August, his situation hasn’t changed. The lack of European matches and the Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby have led to limited playing time for reserve players.

This has also affected his chances of appearing in the Netherlands national team, as there are only eight months left until the World Cup.

According to reports, the 24-year-old player may seek a new club to maintain his chances of participating in the tournament. Roma is monitoring his situation as coach Gian Piero Gasperini wants to strengthen his attack.

The financial situation at Stadio Olimpico is quite constrained, so the loan of a proven forward looks like an intriguing opportunity.

Zirkzee still holds a high rating in Italy. He showcased good performances during his time at Bologna, which led to his transfer to United for £36.5 million last July.

If he is allowed to leave, several other clubs may also express interest, notably there are connections with West Ham.

Amid these events, Zirkzee's transfer to Roma could become an important step for both the player and the Italian club. It would allow the forward to gain crucial playing time and prepare for the World Cup, while Roma would strengthen their attack for the second half of the season. The coming weeks could be decisive for both parties in this situation.
