Joshua Zirkzee could be leaving Manchester United for Fiorentina — but once again, the structure of the deal raises some frustrating questions about how United sell their players.

In this video, I’m breaking down the latest Joshua Zirkzee transfer news, with Fiorentina in talks to sign the Manchester United forward on loan. The proposed deal reportedly includes a €5M loan fee and an option to buy, potentially giving Zirkzee the opportunity to return to Serie A after previously impressing with Bologna.

From a football perspective, I can understand the move. Zirkzee has struggled to establish himself consistently at Old Trafford, scoring nine times across 75 appearances, and his position in Michael Carrick’s Manchester United squad has become increasingly unclear. A return to Italy could give him the regular football and system he needs to rediscover the player United originally spent £36.5M to sign.

But from Manchester United’s perspective, I’m far less convinced.

After some genuinely impressive work elsewhere during this transfer window, potentially allowing another valuable player to leave on a loan with only an OPTION to buy feels frustrating. United need to become better at protecting player value, generating transfer income and knowing when to permanently move players on.

So what does the Joshua Zirkzee to Fiorentina deal actually mean for Manchester United — and could it have consequences for the final days of the transfer window?
