A new Manchester United star reportedly already wants to manufacture a move away from Old Trafford just months after joining the club.
Joshua Zirkzee arrived in Manchester from Serie A outfit Bologna for a reported fee of £36 million (around R822 million) in July, but has not been enjoying the best of form at his new side.

The Dutchman, so far this season, has made 11 appearances across all competitions, but has found the back of the net only once to date.
According to CalcioMercato, per ESPN, the attacker has already set his sights on returning to Italy.
Juventus are said to be interested in landing the 23-year-old's services as he fits the profile of the type of centre-forward they are searching for.
It has also been claimed that a potential loan deal could happen as soon as the January transfer window.
However, the Red Devils are thought to be uncertain about allowing this to occur unless they are able to find a suitable replacement for the Netherlands international.
While Zirkzee has scored on just one occasion this season, United have been struggling in front of goal as a unit, having scored just seven goals in eight Premier League matches.
However, the Mancunians did manage to score twice against Brentford over the weekend, which helped them walk away with a much-needed three points.

Zirkzee was not included in the starting line-up for the encounter. Instead, it was Rasmus Hojlund who led the team's attack, and he scored the second goal to secure victory for the Red Devils.
