"Manchester United” acquired forward Joshua Zirkzee from the "Bologna” team last summer, paying over £36 million for him.

However, so far the 23-year-old Dutchman’s career at "Man Utd” has not been very successful.

J. Zirkzee scored a goal in his debut "Premier” league match, but that has been his only successful strike this season. Moreover, a while back there were reports that the forward might return to Italy as early as January.

It seems that J. Zirkzee was not wanted in his team even last summer, and the then-manager of the "Red Devils,” Erik ten Hag, opposed the signing of his countryman. "The Sun” reports that the manager was particularly disappointed when J. Zirkzee arrived at the team with unwanted extra pounds.
