The hierarchy at Old Trafford have reportedly reached a substantial understanding, as they aim to revitalize their current campaign.
This information stems from a report originating in Italy, surfacing after the Red Devils experienced their third defeat in the Premier League this season, occurring within just the sixth match of their schedule.
The scrutiny surrounding Ruben Amorim is reportedly intensifying, particularly given Manchester United’s inability to secure consecutive victories under his management.
Cesc Fabregas achieving considerable success, while Manchester United face challenges
Conversely, away from Amorim’s situation in England, Como are enjoying considerable success in Serie A and are aiming for European qualification under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas.
The Spanish coach, recognized as no.21 in FourFourTwo’s compilation of the leading managers globally at present, is spearheading a transformative period in Lombardy. According to the Italian publication Corriere Como, the club has designated Fabregas “as the central figure of the project,” further noting his implementation of “modern tactics, structured organization, and the fostering of talent” at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
The aforementioned source now indicates that United’s Joshua Zirkzee has emerged as a potential target for acquisition during the upcoming January transfer period.
Zirkzee transitioned from Bologna to Old Trafford in the prior summer transfer window. It is understood that there was expressed interest from prominent Italian clubs to potentially facilitate his return during the 2025 transfer window; however, Rasmus Hojlund was ultimately directed to Napoli, where he has demonstrated promising performance under the guidance of Antonio Conte.
Corriere Como presents somewhat contradictory details, suggesting that the Red Devils have “come to a mutual understanding” with Como’s ownership, specifically the Hartono brothers, while simultaneously suggesting that Como only maintain “tangible interest” in securing the Dutch player.
It is believed that Fabregas might be considered as a potential candidate for the managerial position at United, in the event that Amorim’s services are terminated. Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that the former midfielder possesses a complex history involving the 20-time English league champions.
The former player for Arsenal and Chelsea has expressed that the club attempted to secure his services on two previous instances: initially, when he was 15 years old before his transfer to the Gunners, and subsequently, approximately a decade later, upon his departure from Barcelona.
Fabregas has additionally verified his involvement in the Premier League’s renowned ‘Battle of the Buffet,’ confessing in 2017 to throwing pizza in the direction of Sir Alex Ferguson following Manchester United’s termination of Arsenal’s sequence of 49 matches without defeat in the league, under contentious circumstances.
