Joshua Zirkzee accepts AC Milan offer amid Man Utd links

There is never a shortage of targets for Manchester United as the transfer window opens. Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee is believed to be one after months of speculation, but he could leave for AC Milan this summer.

The Reds need to sign another center forward this summer because we were too reliant on Rasmus Hojlund. Aged 21, it was his first season at the club and he was United’s only recognized centre-forward.

There is enough room for another goalscorer in the team, but it remains to be seen how much we will have to spend in that department.

Zirkzee became a target after an impressive season with Bologna, who finished fifth in Serie A. The Dutch striker made 37 appearances in his first season at the club, scoring 19 goals.

United will miss Zirkzee unless they act quickly

According to Italian media outlet CalcioMercato.com, Zirkzee has “accepted a contract offer” from AC Milan despite ongoing links with a move to United.

The report suggests that the Italian giants have offered the former Bayern Munich starlet a five-year contract.

This means that AC Milan are trying to gain ground in the race for Zirkzee’s signature.

We’ll soon find out if United – or any of the other clubs interested in the Premier League – are willing to fight for the striker. They may need to act quickly.
