Overview

• Fabrizio Romano reports that several clubs approached Manchester United for Joshua Zirkzee over the past nine months, with Juventus pushing hardest for a loan with an option to buy.
• United closed the door on an exit, with Ruben Amorim viewing Zirkzee as important and having blocked moves in January and again this summer, according to GiveMeSport reporting cited by OneFootball.
• This season Zirkzee has played 77 minutes across all competitions, featuring twice off the bench in the Premier League and briefly in the Carabao Cup loss to Grimsby Town.
• Italian interest persists, with Juventus, Napoli and Inter Milan reported to be monitoring the situation and potentially revisiting moves in January.
• Both United and the player were said to prefer continuing together, even as Zirkzee is not currently a regular starter under Amorim.
