Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.
There have been rumours that the 23-year-old is keen on a move away from Old Trafford and he wants to return to Italy. However, journalist Florian Plettenberg has now rubbished the rumours as fake news. He has revealed that the player does not intend to leave Manchester United any time soon.
It seems that the Dutch international striker is ready to stay and succeed at the English club. He has had a difficult start to life in the Premier League, but there is no doubt that he has the quality to do well in English football.
The 23-year-old striker has scored just once in 12 appearances across all competitions for Manchester United. He was expected to do better when the Red Devils decided to sign him. He has proven himself in Italian football over the years, and it will be interesting to see if he can adapt to English football quickly.
Man United must persist with Joshua Zirkzee
Manchester United need a reliable goalscorer leading the line for them, and the Dutchman certainly has the quality to establish himself as a key player for the club. It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils are willing to give him adequate opportunities in the coming weeks. They will have to be patient with the striker as he looks to adjust to life in the Premier League and regain his confidence and sharpness.
A return to Italy after just a few months in the Premier League would be a major disappointment for the player. It is unlikely that he will want to give up on his Premier League dream just yet. It remains to be seen whether he can salvage his career at Old Trafford and improve on his recent performances.
