Serie A giants Juventus remain interested in Manchester United striker Zirkzee and will wait for talks between the striker’s agent and the Red Devils to see if there’s a chance to bring the Dutch striker to Turin in January.
Zirkzee has been struggling with playing time at Old Trafford since completing a permanent transfer from Bologna last summer.

He seemed to have earned a starting spot when he scored two goals in a 4-0 win over Everton at the start of December, but the 23-year-old only collected 57 minutes of football in the following three Premier League matches against Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.
According to Tuttosport, his agent, Kia Joorabchian, has already scheduled a meeting with Manchester United directors and coach Amorim to learn their plans for his client.
Juventus are waiting for updates on the player’s front and remain interested in a January transfer, especially if it comes on loan with an option to buy.
Zirkzee scored 14 goals in 57 appearances under Thiago Motta at Bologna, contributing to the Rossoblu qualification for the Champions League in 2023-24.
