Manchester United continues talks with Juventus for a potential deal involving Joshua Zirkzee this summer. Laurie Whitwell reports that both clubs are discussing a loan arrangement with a buy obligation attached. Zirkzee, who has struggled for minutes at United, made only five starts last season. Although other clubs are interested, United is not actively seeking to offload him, as the management values his depth as they prepare for the upcoming campaign. An agreement may materialize as the transfer deadline approaches next month.
