Former Juventus star Paolo Di Canio believes Joshua Zirkzee should leave Manchester United because he is 'a bit too slow for the Premier League'.
The Dutch international arrived at Old Trafford in the summer from Bologna in a £36 million deal.
However, he has failed to replicate his impressive displays thus far in the Premier League, after playing an important role in Bologna qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.
Di Canio spoke to Tuttosport, and said: "I would loan Zirkzee from Manchester United. They’ve been making crazy choices for several years and none of them are working, not even Zirkzee who’s a bit too slow for the Premier League. Perhaps he’ll prove me wrong with goals and great performances, but in England, they attack you straight away and whistle 30% fewer fouls.
"In Italy, we saw his impact on Bologna. In the end, amidst the confusion at United, they could even loan him out. They already have [Rasmus] Hojlund, and then there’s [Marcus] Rashford who can play as a striker.
"He’d be the perfect profile for Juventus, also because it would allow [Thiago] Motta to have a striker with different characteristics to [Dusan] Vlahovic. Zirkzee isn’t a devastating scorer, he’s not someone who can score 25 goals, but he helps others play well."
