Amorim Addresses Transfer Links

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim addressed rumors tying Joshua Zerkezzi to a return to Italy's Serie A, with Roma repeatedly mentioned as a potential destination. He confirmed that discussions about a move have taken place, but insisted no deal is in motion and any departure would require a suitable replacement to be signed first.

In remarks relayed by TuttoMercatoWeb, he added: "It will be very difficult for anyone to leave the club unless we can sign a worthy replacement." He also described the situation as an "emergency," noting that even with a full squad the club’s resources are stretched and must be ready for whatever happens next.

Amorim stressed: "We are a club with large responsibilities; we face many difficulties, and in the eyes of the media and everyone, we must win every game. No excuses." The coach emphasized that the team cannot take anything for granted as they prepare for a heavyweight Premier League fixture against Newcastle United.

Preview notes indicate United sit seventh with 26 points, three behind the Champions League places, while Newcastle are eleventh with 23 points. The match is set to open the 18th round of the season in England’s top flight.
