Darren Bent has backed Joshua Zirkzee for a move to Arsenal The striker has struggled since joining Manchester United from Atalanta last summer He made a promising start by scoring on his Premier League debut However his form dipped drastically in the following months He has managed just two league goals leaving doubts about his quality
Despite his poor form Zirkzee was linked with a January exit Clubs in Italy reportedly showed interest but no move materialized Bent believes Manchester United’s struggles have hidden Zirkzee’s true ability He insists that under Arteta’s structured system the striker could thrive Arsenal’s attacking style could bring out the best in him
Bent made his comments while discussing Arsenal’s lack of forwards He joked that the Gunners should even try to sign Rasmus Hojlund TalkSPORT host Andy Goldstein then offered Zirkzee as a suggestion Bent responded that he would gladly take the Dutchman at Arsenal He believes Zirkzee would look much better in their system
Not everyone shares Bent’s confidence in Zirkzee’s potential Former Premier League star Jamie O’Hara gave a brutal assessment He labeled Zirkzee one of the worst players to ever wear a United shirt O’Hara claimed it was unbelievable that he was playing for the club His comments highlight how disappointing Zirkzee’s spell has been
Zirkzee played the full match as United battled Everton at Goodison Park Amorim’s team showed resilience to come back from two goals down However United’s inconsistency continues to be a major concern They have struggled to maintain form and dominate weaker teams This has left fans frustrated with the team’s overall performances
United now prepare for a crucial home clash against Ipswich Town Ipswich will arrive confident despite their recent 4-1 loss to Tottenham Chris Sutton believes they will create plenty of chances at Old Trafford He argues that United remain vulnerable and could easily drop points However he still predicts a narrow win for Amorim’s men
