All good things must come to an end – sooner or later. Only in the case of Joshua Zirkzee and Man United could it be much sooner, sooner than anyone expected, after less than six months. Yet, looking at both the player’s and the club’s mutual benefits, the question is whether their collaboration was “a good thing” in the first place. 🚨 Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee could leave on loan in January, with Juventus interested in the Dutchman. Zirkzee is open to working with Thiago Motta again.(Source: Calciomercato) pic.twitter.com/9cCKZBMT1L— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) October 22, 2024 Either way, according to several reports, the 23-year-old is keen on moving to Juventus and reuniting with his former manager, Thiago Motta, with whom he successfully cooperated at Bologna for two years. The Dutchman is reportedly frustrated in Manchester and would like to leave already in January. Truth be told, nobody can blame him, given that he made 11 appearances (only five as a starter) at United and found the net just once, in the opening Premier League game against Fulham back on August 16. Since then, Erik ten Hag primarily relied on the other options in the attack, such as Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund, while, at some points, even Bruno Fernandes played a centre-forward?!Are Bayern becoming Man United’s supermarket?All this was a clear sign to Zirkzee that he should start looking for alternatives. Speaking frankly, the Red Devils are not satisfied with his performances either and would be willing to part ways with him as they have RB Leipzig’s wonder Benjamin Sesko on their radar. Yet, Zirkzee could move to Turin only on loan at the moment, while the eventual permanent move is still not on the horizon.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – ROUND 3Tuesday19:45: (1.45) AC Milan (4.40) Club Brugge (7.25)19:45: (1.40) Monaco (5.30) Crvena Zvezda (8.00)22:00: (1.10) Arsenal (11.0) Shakhtar (18.0)22:00: (1.62) Aston Villa (3.80) Bologna (5.80)22:00: (1.20) Girona (8.00) Slovan B.
