If Romano had this story, he would be tweeting this 50 times a day.
He is not, currently. You've watched a lot of Bologna matches this season?
Define better? He is an infinitely better football player than Wout. Wout has what basically created his career though, he works his arse of, is a general nuisance and wants to score so badly he even celebrates training goals as if winning the cup.
Zirkzee will have a far greater career though (barring some sort of catastrophic drop off/ injury).
Disagree. Yeah, I've watched a bit of Zirkzee this season and I don't think there is much of a debate.
These Weghorst comparisons are scaring me
Another player we dont get? I hope we keep pushing for those we want
Meh, he's probably going to Milan
I don't get it. Isn't he 6'4"? He is a #10?
Feck him so
Not good enough to get minutes over Wout and Depay one must ask himself how good this guy is?
Well there's cleary a debate. He isnt starting for netherlands and Wout is in front of him in the pecking order. And most Dutch fans agrees with that
This transfer window isn't going well and to pretend otherwise is just cope. This should have been a straightforward deal to do.
Chelsea are snapping up the best young talents in South America and we're getting rejected by fecking Zirkzee?
To be fair managers make shite decisions like this all the time. Look at how much Antony started for Ten Hag while Amad couldn't get on the pitch.
If fabrizio Romano had this scoop why hasn’t he tweeted this himself? Whilst mufcmpb are decent they do twist words around sometimes
To cover everything. Let’s hope we’re in for him

When was peak Wout?
(Honest question actually)
I've no idea, I was just hoping the poster was referencing Wout from an era when I didn't see him play, and wasn't saying that Zirkzee isn't as good as Wout was when he played for us.
He wants to stay in Italy. But much you can do.
Oh well maybe Jonathan David won't reject us as well
Is this true? If so, they are very misguided. Zirkzee is comfortably the better player.
Just sign Fullkrug
Can we sweet talk Wout?
I haven’t seen a lot since he barely featured for Bayern. He simply never looked like an adequate striker/forward for a CL side. More power to him (and 50% of the fee to Bayern) but I am simply surprised about the „hype“.
Olé in season 2 management showed that we did. Great attacking numbers all across our front line whilst even playing counter attacking football.
It's exactly how we played.
A creative CF alongside two inverted forwards that were our main attacking outlet.
It's literally how we even played the end of last season.
Rashford, Amad, Garnacho & we also have Sancho & Greenwood on our books still so if they are sold a new RW would again put the context of buying Zirkzee more in to play.
A) Replacing Greenwood with a clinical left footed RW/RF; many people want a new RW, though leaning towards creativity for Hojlund more than a RW with clinical finishing to get the best out of a player like Zirkzee.
B) Ten Hag was trying to train Sancho in to a False 9 - if he gets sold then again the context of having a False 9 in our team lights up even more.
C) We just lost Martial for good & what was he? A Creative CF that can put others in to play.
I think their is enough context there.
However, he does seem like a fan of AC Milan, talking about how he feels great playing in the San Siro and how Van Basten is one of his idols.

Zlatan regen. Hopefully he learns to score goals, like Zlatan did
let’s move on if this guy wants to join Milan over us. We’re not anyone’s 2nd choice
No chance
He probably prefers the Milano lifestyle over there. He can go there if he doesn’t want to come here to play football
Wanting to join Milan shows lack of desire. Let him link play and score 5 goals on the Italian league. Next.
Milan won the league a couple of seasons ago, finished 2nd last season and are in the champions league. But you are right, not joining a team that finished 8th and hasn't pulled any trees in the last 11 definitely shows a lack of desire.
According to Romano we haven't yet done any contact with the club or the player yet. All we did was to engage in initial contacts with the agent. We're so slow on transfers.
Calafiori... A player Moncada scouted and was ready to bring to Milan last summer, per top sources. Fans "revolted" and mocked the move for weeks. Shows what they know.
Still needs a year, imo, but his potential is really high. He's basically a surefire starter right now, but in another year he should be a stalwart. Italy is garbage this Euros, so wouldn't judge too many players, especially the ones with potential who are surrounded by shrubs.
Anyways, back to Zirkzee... If the player doesn't tell his agent to hit the road on those commissions, there is 0 chance he comes to Milan. We aren't in EPL clubs' positions in which we can satisfy a 15M commissions request on a player like this...Or any player really... We can't set that precident, unless we're talking an other worldly player and he is not that.
United has every chance for this kid w Kia involved.
If he doesn’t want to come here, then we should move on and we absolutely should not throw stupid wages at him as a sweetener. No more players who want to get paid by us more than they want to play for us.
Give me players like Valencia who got rid of their agent upon joining us as he believed he was at the best club and moving anywhere else was out of the question.

Didn't Rasmus do the same ?
Unfortunately this type of player is a dying (dead) breed... The game has evolved too much, and too much money is at stake, and it takes a very rare breed of person, raised under immense conditions, to pass up on the insane amounts of money available out there.
I mean... If reports are to be believed (and as much as Fab has slipped, matteo moretto and daniele longo are VERY reliable now for Italy) both indicate that the only hold up is the AGENT'S commissions. An agent wanting 40%of the transfer fee is holding up this deal. And players allow for crap like this to happen.
Again, this isn't a "Milan thing", as I don't even particularly want the kid that badly... But if the player wants this move and his agent is willing to blow it all up for his own benefit... The game has lost all control.
