Another Transfer Flop: Manchester United Looking to Offload Joshua Zirkzee as Soon as Possible
Manchester United’s management has concluded that forward Joshua Zirkzee is not up to Premier League standards. The Dutch striker has managed just one goal in 17 appearances.
Details. According to the Manchester Evening News, serious doubts have emerged within the club regarding Zirkzee, who was signed from Bologna for £36.5 million during the summer. Since his arrival, Zirkzee has scored only one goal, drawing heavy criticism from fans and pundits alike.
United is reportedly eager to sell the player as soon as possible to reinvest the funds into a more effective striker. The club's main issue this season has been its lack of goals, and reinforcements in the attack are seen as a top priority.
Context. United has struggled immensely in front of goal this season, netting just 12 times in 12 Premier League matches. Zirkzee has not scored since his debut against Fulham over three months ago, while Rasmus Højlund has managed only two goals in 12 games.
