Premier League rival become the latest club to show interest in Man United attacker

Manchester United’s summer signings have struggled to perform at the club so far this season.

Leny Yoro has been unlucky with fitness issues while Matthijs de Ligt and Manuel Ugarte have failed to hit peak form.

The player who has been affected the most this season among the new signings is striker Joshua Zirkzee who is miles away from the starting line up at the moment.

The Dutch attacker has only managed to score one goal all season and it came against Fulham on the opening day.

Since then, he has been made to sit on the bench with opportunities limited due to Rasmus Hojlund getting more chances to play.

The future of Zirkzee at Old Trafford has now become uncertain with several clubs keeping a close eye on the former Bologna man.

According to Caught Offside sources, the striker is attracting interest from Aston Villa as well as Serie A clubs Juventus, Napoli, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

Zirkzee joined Man United in the summer on the back of an impressive season with Bologna, in which he scored 12 goals in 37 games in all competitions for them.

Unai Emery’s side, who already have Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran as their attackers, are showing interest in Zirkzee.

It is still early to make conclusions on the attacker as he has still not had the opportunity to settle at the club and adapt to conditions in a new league.

Joshua Zirkzee deserves more chances at Man United

The attacker deserves proper chances to prove himself at the top level and he would be hoping new manager Ruben Amorim could be the manager to revive his Old Trafford career.

The man who signed Zirkzee, Erik ten Hag, has now left the club and that could be the reason behind the attacker losing his confidence.

It is difficult to see Zirkzee make his place in the 3-4-3 formation that Amorim favours at the club though, but the striker needs a good run in the side before the club actually make the decision to accept that he is not good enough.
