Could the recently acquired Dutchman leave Old Trafford in January?
Rumours are swirling that Juventus are interested in signing Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee just months after he arrived at Old Trafford.

Despite scoring on his debut against Fulham, Zirkzee has failed to find the net in his subsequent seven appearances, raising questions about his suitability for English football.
This has reportedly opened the door for Juventus, previously interested in Zirkzee, to make a move.
Juventus consider swap deal for Zirkzee

While the Serbian international has been a consistent performer for Juventus, contract negotiations have stalled, with his current deal expiring in 2026.
This has alerted several clubs, including Arsenal, to Vlahovic's potential availability.
A swap deal with United presents a unique opportunity for both clubs to address their respective needs.
