The transfer window closes in a few hours, and uncertainty remains over the future of Joshua Zirkzee at Manchester United, which appears to be tied to the future of Alexander Sorloth. The Norway star is being linked with a late move to Old Trafford, as United had expected Zirkzee to leave today, considering he has interest from Juventus and Fiorentina. The Italian clubs have been competing for his signature, and United opened the door for him to leave during this window before identifying Sorloth as an ideal replacement. The Norway star is expected to be allowed to leave Atletico Madrid, who have secured an agreement to sign Jonathan David and have also managed to keep Julian Alvarez. Sorloth could struggle for regular playing time, and he wants to move to United before the window closes. Therefore, a move for him could happen and may happen soon. United consider Sorloth move However, some reports claim United have to sell Zirkzee before they can make a move for Sorloth. According to Sporten, some members of the club’s board want the move for the Norwegian to go ahead, even if they have not sold Zirkzee. That could make the final hours of the transfer window particularly interesting for United, as they consider whether to complete the move before resolving Zirkzee’s future. The club have already identified Sorloth as the player they want to bring in if Zirkzee leaves, but there appears to be disagreement over whether his departure must happen first. Sorloth waits for agreement Sorloth is waiting for the clubs to reach an agreement so he can join United and return to the Premier League. The Norwegian has played in England before, and another opportunity in the competition would give him the chance to continue his career at one of the biggest clubs in the country. For United, the move would provide another striker option if Zirkzee leaves, while Sorloth would have the opportunity to establish himself at Old Trafford. With only a few hours remaining before the transfer window closes, there is little time for the clubs to complete negotiations. Sorloth is ready to make the move, but United must decide whether to wait for Zirkzee’s departure or proceed with the Norwegian’s signing regardless.
