BBC said Zirkzee's injury is not serious. The striker's ability to play in the final stages of the season is not high. This increases the pressure on coach Ruben Amorim. Previously, the "Red Devils" were missing many key players such as Amad Diallo, Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt due to similar problems.

Zirkzee's absence means Rasmus Hojlund will be the only striker left in the United starting line-up. The former Atalanta star's inconsistent form has left many United fans feeling uneasy.

Coach Amorim may have to consider giving more opportunities to 17-year-old striker Chido Obi-Martin. In addition, he may consider pulling Bruno Fernandes to play the "number 9" role in the MU squad.

This season, Zirkzee has scored 3 goals in the Premier League in 32 appearances for MU. In addition, the former Bologna striker has scored 2 more goals in the Europa League. Despite his ideal physique and good technical foundation, Zirkzee is often criticized for being slow and slowing down MU's attack.

Zirkzee’s injury comes as the Old Trafford outfit prepare for a crucial Europa League quarter-final second leg clash with Lyon on April 18. The two teams drew 2-2 in the first leg in France last week.

Europa League is also the only arena where MU still has a chance to compete for the championship, and at the same time win a ticket to the Champions League next season.

Newcastle's 4 goals drowned MU. Early morning of April 14, MU suffered a 1-4 defeat to Newcastle at St James' Park in round 32 of the Premier League.
