Manchester United have denied reports of a swap transfer move for Joshua Zirkzee and Victor Osimhen in January.
Zirkzee has struggled to live up to expectations since joining the Red Devils in the summer transfer window.
The Dutch-Nigerian striker has scored only three goals in his first 18 appearances since his move.
Following his disappointing start to his career at United, reports of a possible January transfer have been flying around.

No swap deal for Osimhen and Zirkzee
Since Ruben Amorim was appointed manager, there have been reports that the Portuguese tactician is looking to add players to suit his style of play.
One of the rumoured targets is Victor Osimhen, a prolific forward for Napoli, with rumours of a possible Zirkzee trade circulating.
However, the Red Devils are not looking to let Zirkzee leave, neither for sale nor loan this winter.
According to transfer specialist Florian Plettenberg on X, “As previously reported and as I’ve been told again.
“Manchester United have no interest in loaning out or selling Joshua #Zirkzee in the winter despite other reports ✔️
“He is expected to stay, as the club believe in his potential and see him as a very good transfer.
“Zirkzee himself has no interest in leaving the club either. Today, he scored two crucial goals against Everton.
This statement follows Zirkzee's impressive performance against Everton, in which he scored twice to help Manchester United claim a 4-0 win.
