Alassane Plea has been ruled out until 2026, creating an urgent need for PSV Eindhoven to find a reliable striker. PSV view Joshua Zirkzee as a primary candidate and are preparing to open talks with Manchester United over a potential loan, aiming to make him their main striker. Zirkzee played 49 times for Manchester United last season, scoring seven goals, and is contracted until 2029. New arrivals Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha have limited his immediate role, and both PSV and Napoli are monitoring the situation ahead of the transfer deadline.
PSV Eindhoven are considering an ambitious move for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee as they search for reinforcements in attack following a devastating injury blow to Alassane Plea. The Frenchman has been ruled out until 2026, leaving PSV in urgent need of a reliable striker to lead their frontline. Sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside that PSV see Zirkzee as the perfect candidate and are preparing to open talks with Man United over a potential loan deal.
No official approach has yet been made but the Dutch club's plan is clear. They want to offer Zirkzee consistent game time as their main striker. Joshua Zirkzee to leave Man United in late move? The opportunity to feature regularly in the Eredivisie could also boost his chances of securing a place in the Netherlands squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
At Old Trafford, Zirkzee's long-term contract runs until 2029, but his immediate role under new manager Ruben Amorim is far from certain. The arrivals of Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha this summer have pushed the 24-year-old further down the pecking order. The Dutch attacker did not feature in the club's opening two matches against Arsenal and Fulham. Amorim has publicly insisted that he values Zirkzee as part of his squad, but United are not ruling out a loan if it guarantees the striker regular minutes.
