Ruben Amorim has selected Joshua Zirkzee to start for Manchester United against Wolves at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
This is despite his disastrous cameo against Newcastle and continued rumors of a move to Roma in January.

He scored in the first half against Molineux but surprisingly was substituted at half-time.
The head coach even claimed that his team would be better without the extra forward, even though that was not the case.
Joshua Zirkzee wants to leave
It all but cements the Dutchman’s imminent departure, with Centredevils revealing the former Bologna ace told Ineos he wished to leave in a recent secret meeting.
The Serie A giants have submitted a formal proposal and it is believed the Red Devils are waiting for the Africa Cup of Nations to be over before sanctioning an exit.

“Joshua Zirkzee is pushing for a move to Roma and even held an internal meeting today to confirm his wishes.
“There is a feeling among the 24-year-old’s squad that the Red Devils will sanction his arrival soon.
Manchester United should bring in replacement before sanctioning exit
“If United do allow the striker to leave, a move for a striker is expected and the club will assess a number of options.”
United are currently stretched in attack, with Amad and Brian Mbemo busy with the African Cup of Nations, while Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount and Kobe Mainu are all injured.
The three-time Champions League winner hopes to replace Joshua Zirkzee with Antoine Semenho, but City appear to have won the game despite being late to the plan.

United can now go all out to bring in Jan Diomande from RB Leipzig as an alternative. An interesting window awaits.
