Man United set to beat Arsenal for star Forward with €40m release clause
Man United are considering a move for Bologna star Joshua Zirkzee as Erik ten Hag looks to add a striker to his squad before the 2024/25 campaign gets underway.
The Athletic’s David Ornstein reports that Manchester club are exploring a deal to sign the Dutch striker and are weighing up whether to make an official move for the 23-year-old as Ten Hag would like a new frontman at Old Trafford for the new season.

Club-to-club talks have yet to take place but the Premier League club are currently speaking to Zirkzee’s representatives and their interest is advanced.
The Bologna star is contracted to the Serie A club until 2026 but that deal contains a €40m (£34m) release clause, which makes the transfer easy to get over the line. However, Man United still need to speak to the Italian outfit before completing any deal.
Zirkzee was a key figure in Bologna’s successful season as he produced 12 goals and assisted a further seven across 37 matches as Thiago Motta’s team secured qualification for next season’s Champions League.
This has attracted attention from across Europe and Man United are not the only club considering a move.
