When the season didn’t start as desired for Manchester United, the refrain was that just wait, when Joshua Zirkzee is in place, the goals will come pouring in. – Manager Erik ten Hag’s dream signing from this summer failed to save his job and the 23-year-old has failed to impress under his successor Ruben Amorim either.
Now, just six months after a €42 million transfer from Bologna, Joshua Zirkzee, along with almost half of Manchester United’s first eleven, has ended up on a UT list.
There is talk of a return to Italy, but this time to Juventus, who have reportedly wanted the Dutch striker for a long time!.
Juventus boss Cristiano Giuntoli said almost two years ago that United’s new signing Joshua Zirkzee was linked with a move to “The Old Lady”. “Zirkzee is very talented, but he plays for a different team. That’s all I can say. We are looking for something completely different”.
Joshua Zirkzee has in 25 games, often from the bench, only scored four goals. (says a lot when Manchester United’s top scorer this season Marcus Rashford has six goals)
Now Tuttosport writes that Juventus’ interest has risen again. The club is following Zirkzee’s situation closely, and they have already contacted the striker’s agent.
Joshua Zirkzee has a contract with Manchester United that runs until the summer of 2029.
