Man United face making Zirkzee decision as loan offer becomes available
Juventus are exploring a loan with an option to buy after Joshua Zirkzee fell down Manchester United’s pecking order, with the forward open to a move.
Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has prioritized a move to Juventus, putting Aston Villa interest on hold as he seeks to leave Old Trafford for consistent playing time.
Under manager Michael Carrick, Zirkzee has struggled to secure regular starts, managing only two goals across 26 appearances last season and aiming to regain form shown during his Bologna years.
Juventus is exploring a loan structure with an option to buy, though United prefers a permanent transfer or conditions that create an obligation to purchase rather than accepting unfavorable deals.
According to journalist Nicolo Schira, Zirkzee has signaled his availability to Juventus, though the Italian club's pursuit may depend heavily on Jonathan David's future in Turin.
With the transfer deadline approaching on Tuesday, United must decide whether to sanction the departure, with Como also among interested clubs competing for the forward's signature.
