United’s starting eleven under various coaches, including Erik ten Hag and Ruud van Nistelrooy, while new manager Ruben Amorim has also expressed dissatisfaction following last week’s criticism.
As per La Gazzetta, Zirkzee is contemplating a return to Italy as soon as January.
Prior to his time at Old Trafford, the forward accumulated 14 goals in 53 games with Bologna.
While not particularly prolific, Zirkzee was valued for his linking play, contributing to Bologna’s securing of a Champions League position last season.
During his two-year stint at the club, he was under the guidance of former Barcelona, Inter Milan, and PSG player Motta, who is now coaching Juventus.
Reports indicate that Zirkzee is keen to move to Turin and join Motta in the next year.
Juventus is reportedly keen to finalize a deal following their unbeaten streak in Serie A.
