The forward has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford after failing to make an impact at the club since his £36.5 million (€42.5 million) move from Bologna in 2024.
Zirkzee has scored just four goals since joining the Red Devils and has become a peripheral figure in Ruben Amorim’s team, which has played just three Premier League games this season.
Man Utd flop Joshua Zirkzee ‘moves forward in transfer talks’ with Roma
According to Fabrizio Romano, Roma made Zirkzee their ‘top target’ in January and are ‘progressing discussions’ with the 24-year-old over personal terms.
The Italian team want to sign the Dutch international “as soon as possible” but United have apparently not yet decided whether or not to let him go.
A number of key United strikers are either absent from the African Cup of Nations or missing some through injury. Bruno Fernandes will be sidelined for “a while” after being forced off at half-time of Sunday’s defeat at Aston Villa, while Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo have joined the Cameroon and Ivory Coast national teams respectively.
