SPORTGOSSIP ;”Manchester United Eyeing Former Barcelona and Inter Milan Midfielder as Potential Erik ten Hag Replacement”
Consequently, there has been a surge of speculation connecting Manchester United with a potential move to recruit the former Barcelona and Inter Milan midfielder to Salford, possibly to replace Erik ten Hag, whose chances of remaining as United’s manager appear slim at present. Additionally, preceding the link to Motta, there have been persistent reports suggesting that Joshua Zirkzee is a prime target for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Zirkzee, a Dutch attacking midfielder who emerged from Bayern Munich’s youth academy, has performed exceptionally well this season, netting 10 goals in the league and serving as both Motta’s creative linchpin and a crucial link between midfield and attack. His style differs significantly from that of any current United player. However, given his integral role in Bologna’s tactical setup under Motta, it wouldn’t be surprising if United were to pursue him to facilitate the integration of the prospective new manager.
