Joshua Zirkzee's new team is announced! He authorized the transfer
The future of Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee is becoming clearer. The Dutch striker has given the green light to the yellow-red club after talks with Roma. Having met with both sporting director Ricky Massara and technical director Gian Piero Gasperini, Zirkzee was convinced by Roma's project and gave his approval for the transfer.
The 23-year-old striker, who is not getting the minutes he wants at Manchester United, started as a substitute in the last game against Newcastle and came on in the second half. However, unhappy with this situation, Zirkzee is looking for a more central role in his career. Roma are ready to respond to this request.

Gasperini explained Zirkzee's role in the 3-4-2-1 system in detail, emphasizing that the player can be used both as a center forward and behind the striker. His versatility was one of the most important reasons for Roma's insistence on the transfer.
AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS DELAY
On the Manchester United front, the wait for players to return from the African Cup of Nations is prolonging the process. Technical director Ruben Amorim's statement that "we are short of numbers in the squad" reveals that the English club may show a temporary resistance. However, the Roma front thinks that this obstacle will be overcome.
The deal between the parties is expected to be in the 38-40 million euro range. This figure could make Zirkzee one of the most expensive transfers in Roma's history. The Dutch striker is expected to arrive in Italy in mid-January and the transfer will become official.
