Joshua Zirkzee Transfer News: Juventus Address Man United Forward Interest

Joshua Zirkzee has started just five league games and only scored three goals across all competitions for Manchester United. That has led to speculation suggesting the 23-year-old may reunite with former coach Thiago Motta at Juventus

The Netherlands international has endured a difficult start to life at Old Trafford, and is already linked with a premature exit in January.

Zirkzee made the move to the Premier League following an impressive 2023-24 season with Bologna, who he helped qualify for the Champions League.

However, the 23-year-old has failed to build on that momentum with the Red Devils, for whom he has started just five league games and only scored three goals across all competitions.

That has led to speculation suggesting he may reunite with former coach Thiago Motta at Juventus, who have operated without a recognised striker on several occasions this season following injuries to the likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik.

However, Bianconeri director Giuntoli told Sky Sports the club were looking elsewhere.

"Zirkzee in January?" he said. "We are waiting for Milik.

"I can just say that Zirkzee is a very good player, but he's under contract at Man Utd. I can't add more now, we're focusing on completely different things now."
