Di Canio Suggests Loan Move for Zirkzee

Joshua Zirkzee, who joined Manchester United from Bologna for £36 million, has been advised by former player Paolo Di Canio to consider a loan move to Juventus in January due to concerns about his performance in the Premier League. Zirkzee has struggled to find his form, scoring only once since his debut, and Di Canio believes he may be 'too slow' for the fast-paced English game. Di Canio noted that Zirkzee thrived in Serie A, scoring 12 goals last season, and would provide Juventus with a different style of striker compared to Dusan Vlahovic. He suggested that with Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford ahead of him in the United lineup, a loan could benefit Zirkzee's development. Despite initial struggles, United coach Erik ten Hag remains supportive of Zirkzee's potential. Overall, Di Canio's remarks reflect a growing concern regarding Zirkzee's fit within United's plans and the competitive nature of the Premier League.
