Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Manchester United is trying hard to get Dutch football player Joshua Zirkzee to join their team. Their chances of getting him have increased because Zlatan Ibrahimovic Senior Adviser of AC Milan has said that Milan will not try to get Zirkzee. This is a big deal for Manchester United because they really want to improve their team with more attackers and Zirkzee who currently plays for Bologna could be a great addition.

Background

AC Milan Stance

AC Milan new manager Paulo Fonseca was interested in Zirkzee. But Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is the Senior Advisor at Milan, has said that they are not interested in Zirkzee anymore.

There is somebody, let see.” This means that Milan is now looking at other players not Zirkzee. This is good for Manchester United because it will be less competition for them to get Zirkzee.

Manchester United Strategic Move

Hojlund is a good player but he is still learning and isn’t the Top Level striker that Manchester United needs. The manager of Manchester United Erik ten Hag really wants to get more good goal scorers for the team and Zirkzee could be one of them.

Considering the current market of players cost these days, the money they have to pay to get Zirkzee is not too much. This makes Zirkzee a good choice for Manchester United because they are looking for players who are good but should not cost too much.

Potential Impact on Manchester United

If Zirkzee moves to Manchester United he could be really important for the team attack. His experience playing in Serie A and his ability to score goals could make Manchester United team stronger. If Zirkzee joins it would fit with Manchester United long term plan of building a strong team that can compete for the top prizes.
