Zirkzee is dissatisfied.

Manchester United are likely to part ways with Joshua Zirkzee in the summer 2026 transfer window, as the Dutch striker is reportedly actively seeking a move away from Old Trafford.

Zirkzee wants to leave Old Trafford this summer.

Joining MU from Bologna with high expectations, Zirkzee quickly fell out of favor. Since the beginning of 2026, the 24-year-old striker has been virtually invisible, playing only 28 minutes in the Premier League. Being relegated to the bench again in the 3-1 win against Aston Villa on March 15th was the final straw, leading him to decide to seek a new club.

Italian media outlets have unanimously confirmed that Zirkzee feels frustrated and demotivated amidst the constant internal turmoil at Manchester United. Changes on the coaching staff haven't brought about the expected turnaround, while limited playing time has also caused him to lose his place in the Dutch national team.

Agent Kia Joorabchian is now beginning to push forward with the transfer plan. Unlike the winter transfer window when he was hesitant, Zirkzee now prioritizes a return to Serie A because he had the best period of his career there.

Juventus is the most likely destination. The Turin club sees Zirkzee as a bargain if MU agrees to lower the fee to around 25-30 million euros, and may even propose a loan with a buy-out clause. In addition, AS Roma is also interested, although there has been no concrete action yet.

With both sides unable to find common ground, the Dutch striker's future at Old Trafford seems to be coming to an end. This opens up the possibility of him returning to his familiar environment in Italy to salvage his career.
