Zirkzee, tiring start at Manchester United (and Milan pampers Morata)
A summer suspended between Manchester United and Milan (with Juventus in the background), with the signing with the Red Devils (deal worth 40 million euros) and the beginning of the adventure in the Premier League after the great season at Bologna, with the achievement of the historic qualification for the Champions League.
So far in England, little satisfaction for Joshua Zirkzee: the team is in 12th place in the table (two wins, one draw and three defeats in the league) and the Dutch striker, born in 2001, has scored just one goal (on his debut against Fulham) in 417 minutes played.
And the last match, lost 3-0 at home against Tottenham, saw mister ten Hag – who had strongly wanted him at Old Trafford – removed him from the field in the 45th minute, also due to the red card given to Bruno Fernandes in the first half which had left Manchester United with 10 men.
In the meantime, the first scenarios and suggestions regarding a possible return to Italy for Zirkzee are already filtering out. In this case not with Milan at the center of these transfer reconstructions: in July the Rossoneri, after abandoning the path that led to the Bologna star, threw themselves on Alvaro Moratabecome in a few weeks already idol of San Siro with goals (two heavy against Torino and Lecce), spirit of sacrifice, winning mentality and the charisma he brings to the pitch.
Zirkzee-Juventus and Vlahovic-Manchester United?
Joshua is more likened to Juventus coached by Thiago Motta with whom he was a protagonist until a few months ago in Bologna. “The Italian path can however reopen as early as January or in view of next summer: Juventus could in fact decide to “sacrifice” Dusan Vlahovic in a hypothetical exchange with the Dutchman – writes calciomercato.com – The operation is difficult due to the difference in salary between the two, with the Serbian receiving practically double the amount of the former Bayern Munich player, but from the point of view of age and value of the cards an agreement can be found.”
