Manchester United’s January transfer window continues to generate headlines, with significant movement expected as the club reshapes its squad.
After a series of disappointing performances and mounting frustrations, one player appears set to depart sooner than anticipated.
Joshua Zirkzee, who joined United in the summer, has struggled to adapt to life at Old Trafford.
Despite a managerial change, the Dutch forward has not been able to establish himself as a key player in Ruben Amorim’s plans.

Fans witnessed Zirkzee’s difficulties firsthand during Monday’s match against Newcastle United, where he was substituted just 30 minutes into the game.
The young striker exited the pitch visibly emotional, further fueling speculation about his future.
While Zirkzee had shown promise in Serie A with Bologna last season, his transition to the Premier League has been far from smooth.
Reports indicate that his time at United may soon come to an end, with Italy emerging as a potential destination.
This development has gained traction over the past week as both clubs and the player’s representatives have explored options.

Juventus, managed by Thiago Motta, is particularly keen to reunite with the player who thrived under Motta’s guidance in Italy.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, negotiations between Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, and Juventus have advanced positively.
The two sides reportedly reached a basic agreement, with Zirkzee expressing a strong desire to return to Italy and rejoin the coach who previously brought out his best form.
The primary sticking point remains the terms of the transfer.
While United prefer a loan with an obligation to buy, Juventus is pushing for a loan with an option to purchase.
Despite this, both parties are optimistic about finding a resolution, and Zirkzee’s departure from Old Trafford appears increasingly likely.
