According to La Gazzetta dello Sportthe Red Devils are now open to a temporary exit for the Dutch forward as they enter the decisive phase.
Zirkzee arrived at Old Trafford promising, but saw limited opportunities amid fierce competition for attacking minutes.
The Dutch attacker has only played 482 minutes of Eredivisie football for the Red Devils this season.
Man United are open to a loan transfer for Zirkzee
Club sources suggest that a loan is now seen as a sensible way to secure regular playing time, accelerate development and preserve the player’s value, rather than leaving him stagnant on the bench.
Juventus has actively scanned the market for attacking reinforcements.
Their initial focus was on exploratory contact with Tottenham Hotspur over a potential move for Randal Kolo Muani, but the complexity and cost of that deal has prompted the Bianconeri to reconsider alternatives.
Zirkzee, already familiar with Serie A from his time in Italy earlier in his career, has found himself back in contention.
Italian reports suggest that Juventus appreciate Zirkzee’s versatility. He can operate as a central striker, drop between the lines or play as a pair in a front two.

That profile suits a team looking to add fluidity and unpredictability to their attack.
Furthermore, a loan structure is in line with Juventus’ preference to carefully manage finances while meeting immediate needs.
United’s openness to a loan has also alerted other Serie A clubs, who see an opportunity to add a Premier League-caliber striker without committing to a permanent fee mid-season.
While Juventus remains one of the most proactive candidates, the competition could quickly heat up if a clear route to minutes is provided.
