Premier League
Man Utd prepared to send striker out on loan
Manchester United are prepared to send Joshua Zirkzee on loan when the transfer window reopens in the New Year, according to Tuttosport.
The Netherlands international joined the Red Devils from Bologna with a huge reputation, but he has failed to adapt to the Premier League.
The Dutchman has looked second best against opposition defenders. His reaction has been pretty slow. He has quite often lost possession needlessly.
Zirkzee has also squandered clear-cut chances and reports claim that the Red Devils could send him out on loan during the next transfer window .
United believe a loan stint with regular playing time could be beneficial for him as he is unlikely to displace Rasmus Hojlund from the starting XI.
New boss Ruben Amorim prefers a physically built striker in the final third and Hojlund is expected to remain an undisputed starter this term.
There are also claims that Amorim could look to bring Viktor Gyokeres to Old Trafford next summer. Zirkzee could be sold if that happens.
