Joshua Zirkzee has emerged as a potential target for Inter Milan this summer after his disappointing debut season at Manchester United.
Despite being signed as a striker by Ineos just last summer, it quickly became apparent that his qualities simply weren’t suited to leading the line in the Premier League.
Joshua Zirkzee’s slow start to life has seen him score just seven goals this season and provide three assists, with two of his goals coming in his last three Europa League games.
The worst moment of the season for the Dutchman came when Zirkzee was hooked before half-time against Newcastle in December, resulting in tears as the Old Trafford crowd cheered the decision.
Since then, Zirkzee has improved for Manchester United with some encouraging performances in recent months, which have made him a cult hero.
Despite this, Ineos could be forced to admit their mistake this summer.

Manchester United should ask Inter Milan for Yann Aurel Bisseck
While Zirkzee has shown glimpses of his ability, it has been more glimpses than anything else, which means United would likely be open to letting him depart, with replacements already close in Liam Delap and Matheus Cunha.
This has now seen reports in Italy suggest that Zirkzee is emerging as an option for Inter Milan, with a loan deal lined up, along with the option to buy.

However, if United are looking to let Zirkzee leave permanently, then it might be best that the club looks to arrange a swap deal.
In this event, Inter defender Yann Aurel Bisseck is the player we think Ineos should be demanding in return. Inter are open to selling Bisseck this summer, with the strong right-footed centre-back offering a lot of the qualities needed by Amorim.
United are set to release Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof this summer, and so strengthening the defensive unit will be on the priority list.
Yann Aurel Bisseck offers Manchester United an exciting upgrade
While several Inter players, such as Denzel Dumfries and Lautaro Martinez, would be interesting possible signings for United, it is Bisseck who addresses the biggest need and is realistic, with Martinez out of range.
As a right-footed defender, Bisseck is an upgrade on both Lindelof and Evans, giving United potentially elite options on the right of Amorim’s back three.

Bisseck is a modern centre-back, being excellent on the ball, fast and strong, along with having the height to dominate aerially.
A huge upgrade option for United to slot into the squad, with the German being on the cusp of becoming a world-class player and Amorim could be the one to make this happen.
