Juventus linked with shock January move for struggling Man United striker -Report

A report in the Italian press claims Juventus could revive their interest in Joshua Zirkzee in January amidst his Manchester United struggles.

With Thiago Motta’s coaching at Bologna, the 23-year-old Bayern Munich youth product was able to make his major breakthrough.

He became an unusual striker under the current Juventus boss, one who could drop back and contribute to the buildup while still causing damage in the area.

Man United made the decision to spend 50 million euros to get the player’s services after the Rossoblu’s incredible campaign.

Under the guidance of his fellow countryman Erik ten Hag, Zirkzee has not been able to provide the goods, though, unlike most of the team’s lineup.

The Dutchman has only managed to score a single goal in eight appearances across all competitions.

So according to Calciomercato via TuttoJuve, the Bianconeri are monitoring the situation, as they consider reviving their attempts to sign the young striker in January.

As the source notes, Motta knows how to conjure the best version out of the struggling striker, having already done so during their prosperous collaboration at the Stadio Dall’Ara.

On the other hand, Dusan Vlahovic has been blowing hot and cold, with many pundits suggesting that the Serbian doesn’t truly fit the playing system of the new Juventus boss.

Therefore, it remains to be seen if the Red Devils would be willing to give up on the services of their big summer investment this rapidly.
