As shown, the Juventus star has a better eye for goal than the Dutchman, scoring more than twice as many goals without penalties per 90 in the past year, but his all-round game is not as strong.
As such, if Reuben Amorim wants a proven goalscorer, who doesn’t offer much more to the team, Juventus’ trade proposal is worth considering, but Zirkzee is likely to help the team in different ways. Osimhen should be United’s priority target, given that he is theirs versatile game is much better than Vlahović’s, while he also has more goals without penalties on average over the last year.
Although Zirkzee has failed so far, it seems a bit premature to let him leave this winter, especially given that Vlahovic is not the best striker United are currently being linked with, meaning there is no urgent need to agree a transfer deal.
