“In as much as I hate Man united, I will always want the best for Ten Hag, which is why I’m pointing him in the direction of signing this amazing player. This will enable him to compete in bigger competitions, as I will be retiring soon and I want him to take over in Europe,” Pep Guardiola tells Erik Ten Hag to go for the £50m player if he wants to conquer Europe next season.

Despite my dislike for Manchester United, I genuinely want the best for Erik Ten Hag. That’s why I’m suggesting he signs this exceptional player. This acquisition will enhance his ability to compete in larger tournaments. With my impending retirement, I wish for him to dominate European football,” Pep Guardiola advises Erik Ten Hag to pursue the £50m player to achieve European success next season.

As Manchester United anticipates the possibility of signing Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna this summer, it appears that his current club is also in limbo, awaiting a decision.

An article from Gazzetta Dello Sport today highlights that Zirkzee, currently participating in the Euros, has not yet communicated with the Serie A club about his future or disclosed his plans.

Bologna holds some hope that Zirkzee might renew his contract and stay for the upcoming season, but they will only receive his answer after he concludes his international duties. Manchester United remains a strong contender for his signature, with Gazzetta noting that the Red Devils have been actively pursuing him. AC Milan is also interested, but the Premier League club has an edge because the Italian giants are unwilling to meet the high commission fee demanded by agent Kia Joorabchian.

Recent reports from the Italian media on Thursday indicated that Zirkzee is ‘ready to accept’ a move to Manchester United this summer, suggesting that the transfer is nearly finalized.

However, with Zirkzee’s future likely to be resolved only after the Euros, Manchester United may need to exercise some patience.
