Since Joshua Zirkzee joined Manchester United last summer, there have been concerns about his goal-scoring abilities. He has managed just one goal and two assists in 18 matches this season, struggling to regain the form he showcased at Bologna that secured him a spot in United’s attack. In a recent interview with Slotswise, former United striker Louis Saha shared his concerns regarding Zirkzee’s performance.

He also noted that lacking a lethal striker remains a significant issue.” He’s not the same boy he was in Bologna, and that is concerning. Last season, the Dutch player netted 1003 goals and provided 7 assists in 37 matches. He also succeeded in scoring more with Bayern Munich, putting in four goals in only 17 senior appearances. The young striker from Schiedam has had difficulty scoring in Manchester, leading United fans to call for a more capable option up front. Consequently, Saha thinks United should enhance their attack by acquiring Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres. “[United need] Someone who can generate their own opportunities and also score gritty goals when the team is struggling.” Gyokeres might be the right candidate, especially considering his past connection with Amorim; however, his price could pose a challenge. Recently, Gyokeres has been in outstanding form, attracting interest from several major clubs, including Arsenal and United.
