Unlike what was previously said, there are no negotiations underway for Joshua Zirkzee. United considers the Dutchman important, who is not on the market. As revealed by Fabrizio Romano, there have been contacts with the Red Devils, but to ask for information about Hojlund, who is strongly wanted by Milan. Among the hottest names, there is that of Pinamonti, for whom there was also a phone call.

Napoli-Zirkzee, no contact! For United, he is unsellable: other names are being probed

Manna has returned to the market, looking for a new striker after Romelu Lukaku's injury. On the notebook of the Neapolitan DS, several profiles, Italian and non-Italian, have ended up. Among these, that of Joshua Zirkzee is to be excluded, considered unsellable by United. This is what Fabrizio Romano reports: "The Neapolitan club had contacts with Manchester United but there were no talks for Joshua Zirzee because the English want to continue with the former Bologna player. Napoli asked for information on Rasmus Højlund's loan.

On Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel, market expert Matteo Moretto added: "The timing for Lukaku has been confirmed. More serious than expected, over three months of stop and I confirm three months, three and a half months, then we'll see if he'll have surgery or not but it will go beyond three months and Napoli is looking around. A first call has been made for Pinamonti, a request for information, but DS Manna is working on multiple tracks. I deny the one for Zirkzee, it was strongly linked, but according to our sources, United considers him important and does not intend to give him up and he wants to stay there to make his way in the Premier League. It's an impractical track. We'll see the other tracks, but certainly one is Pinamonti's, there are others and we're just getting started. But I rule out Zirkzee right away."
