Brighton are reportedly among six clubs tracking Manchester United's wantaway star Joshua Zirkzee.

The forward has struggled for minutes at Old Trafford so far this season, making just three Premier League appearances – two as a substitute – and finding himself slipping down the pecking order under Ruben Amorim.

Summer signings Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha are both favoured by their under-fire manager in the No. 9 role, and this has already prompted Zirkzee to start positioning himself for a move away from the club in January.

According to TBR Football, the Dutch international has held talks with those at United about his desire to leave the club in the winter window.
