    BREAKING NEWS: Joshua Zirkzee is being linked with a surprise transfer away from Manchester United in January, just months after his arrival at the club

    A Premier League legend has recently suggested that Joshua Zirkzee, who has had a rough start at Manchester United, might benefit from an unexpected loan move to revive his form. Zirkzee joined United from Bologna in July for a reported fee of £36.5 million after a standout season in Serie A, where he scored 11 goals in 34 league appearances. His performances helped Bologna secure a fifth-place finish and qualify for the Champions League, raising expectations for his arrival in the Premier League.

    However, Zirkzee’s time at Manchester United has not gone as smoothly as anticipated. He made a promising debut by scoring the winning goal in a 1-0 victory against Fulham on August 16. Yet, since that game, he has gone six consecutive Premier League matches without finding the back of the net.

    While he has shown flashes of his ability, including contributing to build-up play, Zirkzee has struggled to establish himself as a consistent goal scorer, which is something Manchester United desperately needs.

    Amid his struggles, Paolo Di Canio, a former Premier League player with West Ham and Sheffield Wednesday, has suggested that Juventus should consider bringing Zirkzee in on loan during the January transfer window. Di Canio, who also played for Juventus earlier in his career, believes that a move back to Italy could benefit both Zirkzee and the club.

    In an interview with *TuttoSport*, Di Canio explained, “Given the uncertainty surrounding Manchester United at the moment, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for them to consider loaning Zirkzee out. With [Rasmus] Hojlund and [Marcus] Rashford playing key roles in the attack, Zirkzee could offer Juventus something different and give coach Motta another option alongside Vlahovic.”

    Di Canio went on to recommend that Juventus begin negotiations now for a loan deal, potentially with an option to buy, ahead of the January window. “Zirkzee may not be the kind of striker who will score 25 goals a season, but his presence can improve those around him. He offers value in terms of linking play and helping his teammates get into scoring positions.”

    The former Premier League star also suggested that Zirkzee’s struggles at United could be partly due to his lack of speed, which makes it difficult for him to fully adapt to the physical and fast-paced nature of English football. “In the Premier League, he seems a bit slow.

    He could prove me wrong with goals and performances, but the game here is more physical, and the referees don’t call as many fouls,” Di Canio added. “We’ve already seen the kind of impact he had at Bologna. He might thrive better in a league like Serie A, where the style of play suits him more.”

    Despite the speculation, there has been no official indication that Manchester United is considering sending Zirkzee out on loan. However, with the January transfer window approaching, there is still time for clubs like Juventus to make an approach if they are interested in giving the Dutch striker a chance to regain his form in a different environment. For now, Zirkzee remains a part of Manchester United’s squad, and fans will be watching closely to see if he can turn things around before the transfer window opens.
