Dislike Marcus Rashford, Juventus wants Joshua Zirkzee
Juventus have rejected an offer to sign Marcus Rashford, who is currently struggling at Manchester United under manager Ruben Amorim.
The England international was left out of the United squad for the fourth time in a row in the 2-0 defeat to Wolves, and is looking for a new club. However, Juventus are not interested in Rashford and are instead interested in his team-mate Joshua Zirkzee.
Juventus boss Thiago Motta is looking to add to his squad in the January transfer window. Motta worked with Zirkzee at Bologna last season and believes he can help the Dutchman develop his career. While Zirkzee has struggled to shine at United, scoring just four goals in 26 games since his £36.5m move from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2024, he has maintained a good reputation in Serie A, where he has enjoyed success.
Despite Zirkzee's failure to make it in the Premier League, Manchester United are likely to let him leave on loan until the end of the season, while the club's priority remains selling Marcus Rashford, who is earning up to £350,000 a week. United do not want to sell at a loss and will consider options to recoup some of the cost of investing in Zirkzee.
With Juventus interested in Zirkzee, the deal could be a highlight in the upcoming January transfer window, should United decide to let the Dutch striker leave.
