The winter transfer window is just around the corner, and it's time to open the bargain section. January is the month when many teams look to offload players who have underperformed, creating opportunities for other clubs to take advantage of intriguing deals. Speaking of underperformance, one cannot help but think of a player who, could be on the move again soon.
We're talking about Joshua Zirkzee, who was linked to Milan last summer.
The Dutch striker has fallen far short of the high expectations set last summer. After a brilliant season with Bologna, he joined Manchester United for just over €40 million. However, he is struggling to find consistency. In a Red Devils shirt, Zirkzee has made 21 appearances, contributing only 3 goals and 2 assists. These are not the kind of numbers English fans were expecting, especially given the significant investment made in the Dutch international.
As a result, Zirkzee’s market value risks taking a steep decline. It’s not out of the question that Manchester United could consider selling him as early as January, potentially on loan, while turning their attention to a new striker. However, Zirkzee is not the only player who might leave the Red Devils, as there’s another underused player in their squad: Antony.
The Brazilian winger joined Manchester United from Ajax for a hefty €95 million. The outcome? 89 appearances, 12 goals, and 5 assists, with performances that have been far from stellar. His value has plummeted, and the English club could let him go for a fee as low as €20 million.
