Manchester United have received a boost in their bid to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee after AC Milan ended their interest in the Dutchman.

Having had one of the clubs worst Premier League seasons and then shocking Man City in that FA Cup final – there has been alot of speculation about who Man United could sign this summer window

Erik Ten Hag is keen to add a striker to his impressive United attack at some point in the coming transfer window as that is an area that needs to be improved on with Rasmus Hojlund not hitting the goals that the club would have liked.

He is still young, he needs another year at Bologna where he can score a lot.

“It would be important to test himself in the same team but with a different coach. Then he will think about what to do.”

Zirkzee is a talented young striker – but is he any better than Rasmus Hojlund? probably not. but he would add some more depth to that attack.

RASHFORD DECISION MADE – 

Marcus Rashford has been enthused by Manchester United’s decision to retain Erik ten Hag and is ready to renew his commitment to his boyhood club.

Rashford has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons this season and looks nothing like the player that netted 30 goals for MAN UNITED  just a few seasons ago.

He has really struggled this season under boss Erik Ten Hag and has only managed to score 8 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils, which is not good enough for a player of his ability, and there has been alot of speculation about his future with the club.

Rashford’s display of emotion was seen by some as a sign that he may have played his last game for the club, but according to The Sun he wants to remain at Old Trafford after the decision was made by the United board to keep hold of Ten Hag this summer window.

It has been claimed that Rashford is looking to renew his commitment to the club and prove that he is still good enough to be a regular starter at the side.

Emmanuel Petit recently opened up and told the United star that he should consider joining Chelsea this summer transfer window – Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, the Frenchman said: “Marcus Rashford to go to Chelsea? Do you think Rashford wants to leave? I’m expecting Ten Hag to leave the club and I imagine Jim Ratcliffe will pump a huge amount of money into the club and a huge amount of players will leave the club.

“If Rashford is dedicated to the club he will stay, but I have the feeling that his story with United isn’t over yet.

‘I know he’s not happy and he’s going through a difficult time right now, but there’s so many players who are so far away from their right level that he has lost his ambition.

“Physically, when you look at him, his mood is not happy on and off the pitch and if I am Rashford, I would listen to offers, and maybe even Chelsea, but my priority would be the club I love and what happens in the summer.”
