Joshua Zirkzee of Manchester United has decided to wait until after January’s transfer window before making any transfer decisions, due to hopes he might benefit under new manager Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. Although Juventus and Bologna were interested, Zirkzee is more inclined towards staying put for now at Manchester United; even considering loan deals which include an option-to-buy agreement as possible solutions.
Zirkzee’s start in English football may not have gone quite to plan, yet his camp remains hopeful that with Amorim as manager at Manchester United (he also held that role previously with Sporting Lisbon), his performance should improve significantly. Amorim earned high regard during his stint with Sporting Lisbon – so much so that Zirkzee is looking forward to working under him before considering any possible moves or transfers elsewhere.
What options does Joshua Zirkzee have?
Zirkzee could return to Italy soon, with Juventus and Bologna both showing an interest. After his earlier stint in Serie A was impressive, many thought his playing style might suit it more than Premier League – however Juventus may depend on Dusan Vlahovic recommitting himself financially for any move forward.
Bologna would welcome Zirkzee back after his successful spell with them before leaving to join Manchester United, though things remain fluid as Zirkzee concentrates his energies on improving under Amorim at Manchester United and adapting his game further under him. Napoli have also been mentioned as potential destinations, though his immediate priority remains in rectifying his situation at United.
