Joshua Zirkzee offered Man Utd escape route after failing to impress Ruben Amorim

The amount of playing time that Joshua Zirkzee has had in the most recent games under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has decreased, and it is possible that he will be departing Manchester United already, months after he signed with the club. Juventus is interested in signing him.

Joshua Zirkzee, a forward for Manchester United, has apparently been given a way out of Old Trafford by Juventus. This comes just a few months after Zirkzee joined the club, and the new manager of Juventus, Ruben Amorim, is claimed to be “unconvinced” by the Dutch star.

Despite the fact that he has only scored once in his 16 games for United, there have been questions raised about whether or not he is a good fit for the club. The 23-year-old forward moved to United from Bologna for about 37 million pounds this summer.

In the most recent few games, he has seen his playing time decrease under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has only used him as a substitute. His most recent start in the Premier League came in September, when the team was defeated by Tottenham by a score of more than three goals.

Despite the fact that Zirkzee has just recently signed a five-year contract, it is possible that he is already on his way to Juventus. According to Calciomercato, Juventus is investigating the possibility of making a bid for the player in January.

If he were to move to Turin, he would be reunited with Thiago Motta, who served as his manager at Bologna during the previous season. Motta was the one who brought out the best in him, as he scored 12 goals among his 37 appearances.

It has been reported that Motta is looking for a backup striking alternative to Dusan Vlahovic. This is due to the fact that the future of Arkadiusz Milik is unknown, and Nico Gonzalez is prone to potential injuries.

A earlier rumour from the same publication stated that the new manager, Amorim, was not completely persuaded about Zirkzee. This was in response to the initial allegations that Erik ten Hag did not want to sign him.

Having been connected with his former Sporting star Viktor Gyokeres, who has taken the football world by storm after scoring 23 goals in 18 games so far this season, Amorim is reportedly formulating his own list of forward targets to bring in. This comes after Gyokeres has already taken the sports world by storm.

In addition, the report states that United would only be prepared to send Zirkzee out on loan if they had already spent a significant amount of money on him and still considered him to be a potential future success.

According to the report, Juventus would be delighted to take Zirkzee on loan; but, the club may want an obligation to guarantee that they will be able to purchase him the following summer. This is because negotiations on a new contract for Vlahovic have not yet reached a conclusion.

Zirkzee began his professional career with Bayern Munich. He then went on loan to play for Parma and Anderlecht. In 2022, he finally signed a permanent contract with Bologna so that he could go there permanently. Prior to joining United, he spent two seasons playing for the Serie A club, during which time he scored 14 goals in all competitions.
