Now, he could see his tenure cut short following only two seasons in red.
Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Zirkzee’s situation today, saying (via UtdTruthful ): “For the first time, Joshua Zirkzee is genuinely looking around regarding his future, unlike before.
“He would happily return to Italy. He enjoyed his time there and knows the league.”
A return to Italy is seemingly the most likely outcome, too, as Juventus have stepped up their pursuit of Zirkzee this week in hopes of taking him on loan.
What’s the latest on Zirkzee?
United would sanction a loan deal as long as the terms include a buy obligation rather than an option. Alternatively, they are open to facilitating a permanent sale, though it remains to be seen what kind of fee they would demand.
The 25-year-old will be well aware that the impending return of Marcus Rashford in the coming weeks would potentially lead to his game time being even more limited – and this is after a campaign in which Zirkzee made only five starts in total .
Zirkzee’s complete record for United
It goes without saying that the Dutchman has struggled to leave a lasting impression in the appearances he has made, but fans would perhaps argue he hasn’t been granted the chances to stake his claim or maintain his form.
