The January transfer window is fast approaching, and Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee's future at Old Trafford is increasingly uncertain. Despite his impressive start to life in Manchester, the 23-year-old Dutchman has struggled to maintain his form, scoring just three goals and providing two assists in 22 games across all competitions this season.
Zirkzee's difficulties have led to speculation about his potential departure from Manchester United, with Juventus and Napoli emerging as potential suitors. The Bianconeri, in particular, have been linked with a move for Zirkzee, who previously worked under current Juventus boss Thiago Motta during their time together at Bologna.
However, Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli has poured cold water on the rumors, stating that the Italian giants are not currently considering a move for Zirkzee. "We are waiting for Arek Milik," Giuntoli told Sky Italia. "Zirkzee is very talented, but he is part of another team, and I cannot say more than that."
Despite Giuntoli's comments, speculation about Zirkzee's future continues to swirl. Napoli, who recently signed Romelu Lukaku, have reportedly expressed an interest in working with the young Dutch striker. Meanwhile, Aston Villa have also been tipped to make a surprise move for Zirkzee if he becomes available.
As the January transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Joshua Zirkzee. One thing is certain, however: the young striker will be eager to prove himself and get his Manchester United career back on track.
Zirkzee is expected to be named on the bench when Manchester United take on Manchester City in Sunday's highly anticipated Manchester derby. With the Red Devils looking to bounce back from their recent defeat to Liverpool, Zirkzee will be hoping to make an impact and prove his worth to manager Ruben Amorim.
In the meantime, fans of the Old Trafford outfit will be keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Zirkzee's future. Will he stay and fight for his place in the Manchester United team, or will he seek pastures new in Italy or elsewhere? Only time will tell.
