  • Man Utd are pushing to agree a deal for the Lecce left-back in the coming hours and days but will have to move quickly, as Juventus could dramatically join the race in a big twist

Manchester United are in a race against time to secure their first signing of the January transfer window, with a particular interest in securing the services of Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee. The urgency stems from Juventus also expressing interest in the 22-year-old Dutch forward, who has impressed with seven goals and two assists in 18 Serie A appearances this season. Juventus has reportedly made contact with Zirkzee's representatives, intensifying the competition for his signature. Manchester United's interest in Zirkzee is part of their strategy to bolster their attacking options, especially with the future of Anthony Martial uncertain. The club has been linked with other forwards like Timo Werner and Serhou Guirassy, but Zirkzee's potential and performance make him a prime target. However, any deal would likely involve activating his €40m release clause, which becomes active in the summer, complicating a mid-season transfer.
