Joshua Zirkzee scored on his Manchester United debut to help them seal a 1-0 win over Fulham in August.
Since then, the striker has failed to score and registered a single assist in the league.
The 23-year-old starred for Bologna last season but hasn’t managed to replicate the same form at Manchester United. This has seen him linked with a move back to Serie A in January.
On Monday, Manchester United sacked Erik ten Hag and appointed Ruud van Nistelrooy as their interim manager. MilanLive.it make a bold claim that Ten Hag’s ‘dismissal leads to his return to Serie A’.
Milan wanted the Netherlands international before he joined Manchester United, and Juventus can also come forward to try and secure his services in the winter market.
The Turin club appointed Thiago Motta as their new manager in the summer. Zirkzee had excelled under the Brazilian at Bologna and the manager seems to be pushing Juve to make an approach for his former player.
It’s claimed the Old Lady are ‘ready to make an attempt’ to sign the Dutchman on a loan deal with right to buy in January. There’s no mention of Manchester United’s stance on his possible exit.
Manchester United are unlikely to give up so quickly on the player. Ten Hag’s successor will surely take a close look at Zirkzee before making a decision.
