Joshua Zirkzee scored on his league debut for Manchester United. Since then, it has been significantly more difficult for the Dutchman to find his way to the goal and eventually also the way to the first eleven. – Now he is completely out in the cold with manager Ruben Amorim.
The striker who was signed this summer for €42.5 million after impressing for Bologna under Thiago Motta’s management. Qualification for the Champions League after 5th place in Serie A meant that Juventus brought in Motta to them as their new manager this summer. Although Juventus are well covered with attacking players, both Thiago Motta and Joshua Zirkzee want a reunion.
Joshua Zirkzee has not surprisingly been criticized for his performances and the goals have come to an end. Most recently against Newcastle, Zirkzee was substituted after half an hour of play and stormed out into the players’ corridor. – His behavior after being substituted cemented the flop stamp and effectively ensured that Amorim could no longer trust him.
The striker has previously been linked with a return to Italy, with Juventus cited as the most likely destination. Now Gazzetta dello Sport states that Zirkzee agreed to join “the old lady” in the January window.
All that remains is for Juventus and United to agree on a transfer for the Dutchman. Juventus will have a loan agreement with an option to buy, while Manchester United will at best have a loan agreement with a purchase obligation. Joshua Zirkzee is going all out!
Joshua Zirkzee has accounted for four goals and two assists in 27 appearances for Manchester United.
In Italy, the striker has a stronger goal score. There, Zirkzee has scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in 57 Serie A appearances for Bologna and Parma
