Manchester United are reportedly set to open talks with Bologna over a deal for Joshua Zirkzee as they look to bolster Erik ten Hag's attacking options this summer
Joshua Zirkzee has a clear path to his preferred No.9 shirt at Manchester United following Anthony Martial 's departure.
United, along with several other top European clubs, have shown interest in Zirkzee as they look to fill the void left by Martial's exit at the end of his contract. This is one of the first transfer tasks facing Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team. However, Martial never lived up to his early career potential with the Red Devils, with recurring injury issues hampering his nine-year spell. Now aged 28, those comparisons to Brazil's greatest football icon seem massively misplaced.
It's said that United have already settled personal terms with the player's representatives and are poised to begin talks with his current club. He has a £34million release clause, which could potentially be negotiated down.
