Manchester United have received a big boost in their pursuit of Joshua Zirkzee as he is reportedly prepared to move to Old Trafford.
The story of the Red Devils’ interest in the Dutchman has been a convoluted one, it’s been suggested that the Red Devils might consider a possible Jordan Sancho swap deal.
With Ten Hag now confirmed to be staying at Old Trafford, the obvious next step is to sort out a permanent transfer for Jadon Sancho.
The relationship between the two men appears to be at an all-time low and there seems to be no expectation of reconciliation.
The problem is that United could struggle to gain the £40m they would require to sell him permanently. But if they did, that money can be used to purchase Bologna’s striker Joshua Zirkzee.
The Dutchman has a £33m release clause but MEN Sport understands agent commission could see that figure rise significantly. If they could sell Sancho and bring Zirkzee in, it would be a dream swap for United.
