Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo are both growing impatient with their little playing time; therefore, Ruben Amorim has taken action to put an end to rumours about their futures.
Despite worries that they would miss the World Cup next summer, Amorim stated that the two will not be permitted to depart Manchester United in January.
Neither Mainoo nor Zirkzee have established a consistent starting position under the Portuguese, and both have been on the team's periphery this season.
Despite their dissatisfaction with their lack of playing time before the World Cup next summer, Amorim stated that Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee would not be permitted to depart during the January transfer window.
Amorim responded, "I understand it, but they are our players, and we need everyone to have a good season." Mainoo and Zirkzee were linked to loan moves to Napoli and Roma this summer as their anger increased.
I am also aware that there is a lot of noise in our club. There are no players. There is a World Cup, and they want to play. There are agents who constantly listen to the players.
Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo will not be permitted to leave in January, according to Ruben Amorim.
After failing to find work, 20-year-old Mainoo requested to go on loan late in the summer, but his request was denied.
After fighting for opportunities, 20-year-old Mainoo requested to go on loan late in the summer window, but his request was denied.
To date, the midfield player has made five Premier League appearances from the bench.
In contrast, Zirkzee has only played 82 minutes in all competitions. The Dutch striker is eager to play for his nation in the tournament next summer, but he will have to compete for playing time.
When asked if he understood their frustrations, Amorim said that at a club the magnitude of United, the problem was unavoidable. He emphasised that during a crowded campaign, squad depth must be preserved.
When asked about Mainoo's condition before last month's Manchester derby, Amorim responded, "No, like a lot of men, he wants to play more." "This week, I spoke with him as opposed to before the window closed."
Because I do not want Kobbie Mainoo to believe that I spoke to him to keep him around.
"I want no part of that emotion." Although some of you assume that Kobbie Mainoo has already completed the piece, I have a lot of faith in her. He has a lot of room for improvement, in my opinion.
I believe that while some men's talent is sufficient, it is insufficient for them. Perhaps it is unfair, but I believe I am only assisting Kobbie Mainoo. Like the other men, he will have opportunities.
In contrast, Zirkzee has only played 82 minutes in all competitions. The Dutch striker is eager to play for his nation in the World Cup next summer.
It is anticipated that both players will stay with the first team until the end of the season.
In the Premier League, United takes on Liverpool on Sunday in an attempt to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.
The disciplinary committee of the RFEF
"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
