Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has hinted he could deploy Jadon Sancho in a new position.
This follows the several injuries in the squad during pre-season.
Rasmus Hojlund, Leny Yoro and Victor Lindelof have all picked up different injuries.
Joshua Zirzkee, who moved to United this summer from Bologna, only recently started training with Ten Hag’s squad.
Zirkzee is unlikely to be selected in the starting lineup in the initial matches of the upcoming 2024/25 campaign.
Ten Hag told reporters: “That’s what we can do [play Sancho in the middle] if we don’t have the availability of Rasmus.
“But of course, Joshua Zirkzee, he’s coming in, he’s started training. But you also have to consider that he’s not so long in training, so that will take time, and he has to adapt to English football and our way of playing as well.
“There is also, of course, Jadon, who can play as a striker. We know he can play in wide areas, but also as a false striker, he’s an option.”
