Joshua Zirkzee faces uncertain future at Manchester United

Summary

Joshua Zirkzee remains linked with a potential exit from Manchester United before the transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on Tuesday. A proposed loan deal sending the forward to Fiorentina has collapsed, shifting focus toward other potential destinations. Juventus may pursue the forward, though a move depends on whether Canada striker Jonathan David joins Atletico Madrid. Zirkzee has been an unused substitute for both of Manchester United's league games this season. Manager Michael Carrick did not rule out further squad adjustments following the team's 5-2 victory over Ipswich on Sunday, noting that the club remains open to additional signings if opportunities arise.

What they're saying

"
Joshua Zirkzee's proposed loan from Manchester United to Fiorentina is off. It does seem as though Juventus might come in for the forward, although that is dependent on Canada striker Jonathan David completing a move to Atletico Madrid. Zirkzee has been an unused substitute for both Manchester United games so far and does appear to be the most likely senior player to leave before the transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on Tuesday.
