It is a fact that the talented Dutch international striker, Joshua Zirkzee is not feeling particularly well at Manchester United. The previous coach of the red devils, even his countryman, Erik Ten Hag had not given him the required opportunities to be able to present his talent and this had really affected him psychologically.
So he has asked his agent to look for a team elsewhere so that he can compete and find his good self again. In fact, according to information, Milan and Juventus are reportedly eyeing him ahead of January.
Joshua Zirkzee last season with
Bologna was amazing and one of the main contributors to their amazing run, which brought them to the
UEFA Champions League for the first time in many years. And of course he was rewarded himself with his transfer to Manchester United..
The "red devils" even spent a not inconsiderable amount to acquire the Dutch forward (paying the red and blue the sum of 42.5 million euros in three installments), while offering the footballer a contract until 2029. With annual wages of 3.5 million euros. But the first samples of his writing are not so impressive.
In this season's Premier League opener against Fulham he found the net and led his side to victory, but his traces in the starting line-up have been ignored since the end of September, with his tally so far (apart from the goal is one assist ) and just four games as a starter in all competitions.
Meanwhile, with the arrival of the Portuguese's new manager, Ruben Amorim, many are predicting that United will make a move to sign Sweden forward Gyokeres (from Sporting), with Zirkzee already feeling uncomfortable and two Italian clubs to come to... take advantage of the situation. However, we will have to see what actions Ruben Amorim will take, as he stated before leaving for Manchester: "Portugal is my country, Lisbon is my city and Sporting is my team. In January we will not move (SS in question about Gyokeres) in the summer we will see...". So he will definitely want to give some or some opportunities and get to know Zirkzee up close.
On the other hand, of course, Juventus and Milan, who are eagerly looking for a strong "hit" in January, will make their own moves. In fact, the Bianconeri have as an asset the presence of Thiago Motta on their bench, as with him as a coach in Bologna, Zirkzee made his impressive breakthrough...
