Zirkzee, to join United in the summer for 42 million… to be able to leave in January

Today’s football has less and less patience. Before it was the coaches who didn’t last long and now it’s starting to be the footballers. Among all the teams that seem to have no fixed direction in their sports planning, Manchester United stands out, which has taken several ‘turns’ in recent years. The most recent, the change of coach after renewing Erik Ten Hag at the end of last season. Rúben Amorim will be the one who takes over the reins of a team that has been in a deep crisis for several years now. They have not won the Premier League since Alex Ferguson’s last year in charge and are currently thirteenth in the standings.

The arrival of the Portuguese to Old Trafford is going to bring a revolution and one of the first affected seems to be the one who was a star signing just a few months ago. Joshua Zirkzee landed in Manchester after a spectacular campaign at Bologna, so the Reds leaders paid 42.5 million euros to acquire his services. A footballer who could play in various positions on the attacking front and who excited the fans.

“He came out of shape and needed to lose the extra weight

His debut could not have been better, coming off the bench and scoring the winning goal against Fulham on the first day. It was his only goal so far, having participated in 11 games and starting only four. Very disappointing numbers for the one who was called to resurrect the ‘Red Devils’ offense. Not even Ten Hag, a compatriot, was able to get the most out of him and his future seems darker than ever with the new coach.

The Sun revealed that the conditions in which he arrived in England were not good, with serious accusations about his physical condition: “He arrived out of shape and needed to lose the extra weight.” Now they point out from Italy that his future could be far from Manchester United.

Juventus, possible destination

It was the newspaper Tuttosport, along with the Daily Mail and Sky Sports, that reported that the Dutch striker could move away from the ‘Theatre of Dreams’. However, the first information suggests that the English club would like to keep the player as property, opting for an exit in the form of a loan. That’s where Juventus appears.

The Bianconeri are led by Thiago Motta, who is the one who got his ‘prime’ in Bologna with 14 goals and 9 assists. Zirkzee shone in Serie A and could return to the transalpine country in search of regaining lost confidence. One more proof that patience in football seems like a thing of another time. Joshua is 23 years old, a career ahead of him and a ‘soap opera’ next January.
