Joshua Zirkzee is having a difficult time at Old Trafford, with his form declining and the coaching staff's confidence wavering.

Why €75m Osimhen still draws Premier League interest despite Galatasaray attempts - Football Italia

In that context, Manchester United is considering using him as "leverage" in the deal to recruit Victor Osimhen - an excellent striker who is being sought after by many teams.

Joshua Zirkzee joined Manchester United in July with great expectations after the Red Devils spent £36.5m to sign him from Bologna. The Dutchman got off to a flying start, scoring the winner in the opening game against Fulham. However, his form quickly declined and he has not scored since. This has led to Zirkzee falling out of favour with the coaching staff, especially since Ruben Amorim took over as head coach. The Portuguese is said to not have full faith in the 23-year-old and is looking for another solution to his team's attack.

According to Il Mattino, Man Utd are considering the possibility of using Zirkzee as part of a deal to sign Victor Osimhen. The plan includes sending an additional £25m to persuade Napoli to sell the Nigerian striker. Osimhen is one of Europe's top strikers, having scored 26 goals to help Napoli win Serie A in 2023. However, internal conflicts caused him to leave Napoli and move to Galatasaray on loan. Here, he continued to prove his class with 6 goals and 2 assists in just 5 matches.

Man Utd's attack is really struggling this season, scoring only 12 goals in 11 rounds in the Premier League - a disappointing number for this traditional team. Adding a top striker like Osimhen could be the optimal solution to improve the scoring efficiency and bring the Red Devils back to the race. However, Man Utd are not the only team pursuing Osimhen. Chelsea and Arsenal are also closely following the Nigerian striker, making the race more tense than ever.

Standing at 13th place in the Premier League, Man Utd will need a smart and drastic strategy to complete this deal. If successful, owning Victor Osimhen could be an important turning point, not only solving the problem of the attack but also restoring the team's ambition to conquer the title. In this case, Joshua Zirkzee will become an important "key" in the Red Devils' plan to change their fortunes.
