Joshua Zirkzee is struggling at Manchester United, has failed to establish himself as a consistent starter, and is beginning to second-guess his decision. He chose them over a number of teams, including two Calciomercato relays in Serie A. The striker was acquired by the Red Devils for €36 million, slightly over his release clause in order to secure a more convenient payment plan. In 11 games, he has only scored once. In the Premier League, he has made four starts.

Even if it were only in the upcoming transfer window, Zirkzee would be delighted to return to Serie A. Whether Manchester United would accept a departure on an initial loan or not is still up in the air. Juventus is looking to add a striker with his qualities to their roster. At Bologna, he flourished under Thiago Motta. Last summer, Milan came the closest to signing him, but his entourage's demands caused the deal to fall through.
