Man Utd reject approach for £36.5m star as they authorise another huge exit

 Man Utd have turned down an approach from Inter Milan for Netherlands international Joshua Zirkzee, according to reports.

The Red Devils have had a terrible season with Ruben Amorim’s side going down as the worst Man Utd side to have played in the Premier League era.

Man Utd finished 15th in the Premier League with the Red Devils finishing the season on 42 points from 38 matches after picking up just 11 wins all campaign.

One particular concern this season has been goalscoring with only Everton, Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton the only four teams to have scored fewer goals than Man Utd in the Premier League.

Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have come in for plenty of stick this season with the young duo scoring just seven Premier League goals between them in 2024/25.

There have been rumours that Hojlund will move back to Serie A, where he has played for Atalanta previously, with Inter Milan understood to be very interested.

While Zirkzee – who joined from another Serie A club in Bologna for £36.5m last summer – has also been linked with a return and now Italian publication Corriere dello Sport has brought the latest.

The newspaper claims that Inter Milan’s talks to sign Hojlund ‘also included Zirkzee’ but Man Utd ‘are thinking of keeping the Dutchman’ for next season.

But it is ‘full steam ahead’ in their pursuit of Hojlund and the Dane ‘has already given his availability to return to Italy and also to embrace the Inter cause’.

There is ‘no wall’ from Man Utd as they sanction his exit with Inter Milan ‘aiming for a loan with a simple right of redemption, otherwise an obligation but tied to some conditions’.
