From Italy: Man United star has Serie A transfer on his mind as new suitors emerge

Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee is reportedly one of the names on Roma’s list of transfer targets up front ahead of January.

The Netherlands international has struggled for playing time at Man Utd, but previously shone during a spell in Serie A with Bologna .

It seems Zirkzee is now considering returning to Italy, with Roma among his suitors, according to Gazzetta dello Sport .

Roma look in need of strengthening up front after the poor form of loan signing Evan Ferguson, and Zirkzee could prove a decent option if he can play like he did in his previous spell in Serie A .

United ended up keeping Zirkzee in the summer, but it could be that they’ll relax their stance on his situation in January.

The Red Devils simply don’t seem to have any room for the 24-year-old at the moment, and it’s hard to see that changing any time soon, even if Ruben Amorim might at some point need to make more use of his squad players.

Zirkzee, however, might not fancy waiting around to find out if he’ll get a chance eventually, as he needs to start playing regularly as soon as possible if he is to stand any chance of making it into the Dutch national squad for next summer’s World Cup.

As CaughtOffside reported earlier this week, Zirkzee also has other suitors , such as Premier League clubs Brighton and West Ham United.

MUFC clearly won’t be short of takers for Zirkzee if they decide to offload him, so this might end up being a good window to let him go.

If United keep Zirkzee for too much longer without playing him then it’s only going to be harder to sell him.
