Man Utd’s Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt. Man Utd ‘move’ for Arsenal target to replace ‘terrible’ signing tipped for ‘release’ to Euro giants

Zirkzee was Man Utd’s first signing of the 2024 summer window as they paid around £36.5m to sign him from Serie A outfit Bologna.

The Netherlands international impressed for Bologna last season as he grabbed eleven goals and four assists in his 34 Serie A appearances.

The forward ยูฟ่าเบท made the perfect start to this season. He scored on his Premier League debut as Man Utd beat Fulham 1-0 on the opening day.

However, Zirkzee has not been able to kick. He is without a goal in ten games for Man Utd. After he struggled off the bench at Aston Villa before the international break, he only made a 16-minute cameo off the bench against Brentford on Saturday.

During the international break, Italian journalist Carlo Pellegati hit out at Zirkzee. Who “play terribly” against Aston Villa. 

“They don’t even want to see Zirkzee in Manchester anymore. He play terribly against Aston Villa,” Pellegati said.

Pellegati then endorsed a winter loan to Milan. He added: “Zirkzee should be taken on loan in January, they’ll give him to you. Next year there will still be some things to see in attack. Let’s leave [Alvaro] Morata up front.

“Think of an attack with [Christian] Pulisic, [Rafael] Leao, Zirkzee and Morata. Spectacle, we would return to San Siro to have fun.

“With Zirkzee the enthusiasm would return to the fans. These are proud gestures from Milan.”

A report in Italy claims Man Utd are already open to letting Zirkzee leave as they ‘could release him to Juventus on loan’.
