Manchester United manager Reuben Amorim confirmed that Joshua Girudgie’s season ended after an injury that hit Newcastle United.
The Dutch had to go out with hamstring issues at St James Park over the weekend, so it seems bad enough not to play again before the campaign ends.
Of course, when there’s only more than a month left this season, it’s not that dramatic now, but it was generally a rather disastrous campaign, which is still a blow to the man’s UTD.
See below as ESPN’s Rob Dawson reports on what Amorim said about Jilky’s injury at today’s press conference…
Zirkzee hasn’t been completely convincing since joining United from Bologna last summer, but shows signs of improvement as the season progresses.
Also, if the only striker option other striker option Amorim has is Rasmus Hojlund, losing 23 years of age is far from ideal.

It was a bit of a nightmare season for United as a whole. This is the latest in the long lines for the club.
The results and performance were not good enough, with United sitting 14th at the Premier League table.
The club also generally looks like a rather unfortunate place, with players not confident, but celebrities like Marcus Rashford and Antony lending it out in January.
Rashford has been improved at Aston Villa. This could lead to talk about United should bring him back in the summer, but others would argue that they shouldn’t let him go first.
Zirkzee’s injury even means that it is true even now, as there aren’t enough people to replace him.
