Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has been criticised heavily since the move to Old Trafford, but he has interest from Serie A.

Joshua Zirkzee has not been able to live up to the expectations since joining Manchester United, and he has struggled to score goals consistently. He has now fallen down the pecking order after the arrival of Benjamin Sesko during the summer transfer window. There have been rumours that the Netherlands international could be sold in the coming months.

According to a report by Give Me Sport, Ruben Amorim wants Manchester United to keep the Dutch attacker, who pockets £130,000-a-week wages at Old Trafford. It will be interesting to see if he can help the player regain his form and confidence.

Zirkzee was an important player for Bologna during his time in Italy, and there is no doubt that he has the quality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League. Manchester United probably need to be more patient with him.

Can Manchester United harness his true potential?

Manchester United need more than just one striker at the club, and keeping Zirkzee would be a wise decision. Sesko is still getting to grips with English football, and he has not been able to showcase his true quality yet.

Manchester United will look to do well this season, and they will hope to get back into the UEFA Champions League. They need a deeper squad with quality for that to happen. The Netherlands international could be a useful player for them as the season progresses.

The Dutchman will be desperate to play regularly as well. It remains to be seen whether he can work hard in training and convince the manager to give him regular opportunities. Zirkzee’s talent is beyond doubt, but he has not been able to hit the ground running in England so far.

Meanwhile, he has been linked with a return to Italy. The opportunity to return to his comfort zone could be tempting, but it seems unlikely that the player will give up on Manchester United just yet. Zirkzee is a young player with a lot of potential and he will have plenty of opportunities to get his career back on track.
