Is he not just in a rotten environment?

Look at Anthony for example and how well he’s doing at betis. Rashford also looking a lot better at Villa.

Would 100% take the gamble but there’s every chance he could be shite as well.

I actually like zirkzee as well for a moyes type striker if you can get enough goals from midfield.

I’d just expect to see some residue of something positive from him. He’s not getting shots off, he’s not setting up chances, he’s not winning aerial duels, he’s not defending from the front. Maybe he runs with the ball a bit, that’s the only slight positive marker.

I know he was only a teenager but his underlying numbers from Atalanta aren’t even especially impressive and every attacker there seems to go crazy.

I’m all about the buy low opportunities but given the obscene fee United paid for him, I don’t think he’d be worth the discounted rate. This is a rehab job for a best of the rest La Liga or Serie A club for sure.
