Joshua Zirkzee surely imagined a better life for himself at Manchester. The Dutch striker, who was among the best strikers in the Serie A last season, is struggling to make an impact in the Premier League.
His contribution (1 goal and two assists in 17 appearances) is too little for a player who cost over forty million euros.
The 23-year-old has performed well below expectations, and his future seems sealed: far from the Premier League.
Now that coach Ruben Amorim is about to land at Manchester United, Zirkzee will have a few weeks to convince him to rely on him again, although the decision seems already made: in January, the Dutchman could be sold, even on loan. Supporting this hypothesis is the fact that reports from England suggest that the Red Devils have already identified a striker to purchase in January.
According to reports from ‘L’Equipe,’ Manchester United is indeed behind Nkunku’s desire to leave Chelsea.
The player is pushing for a move in January, and Manchester United is seriously considering it. His arrival would be the signal to give the green light for Zirkzee's definitive departure.
Zirkzee... Who will try to sign him?
Juventus could therefore return for the former Bologna player, who they need to provide an alternative to Vlahovic, but Milan could also have interest, having pursued the player at length last summer. In both cases, the deal would likely only succeed if it were in the form of a loan, as relayed via Calciomercato.it.
