Joshua Zirkzee acknowledges he is unwanted at Manchester United
Summary

Joshua Zirkzee's time at Manchester United appears to be coming to an end. The 25-year-old striker remained on the bench during the opening match against Hull City, reflecting his dwindling status in the squad. With interest from Serie A clubs, including Fiorentina, Zirkzee's future is uncertain, especially as the transfer deadline approaches. Reports indicate that Fiorentina’s sporting director, Fabio Paratici, has made inquiries about Zirkzee's availability, but financial constraints may hinder the deal.
