Turkish giants Galatasaray are set to compete with Italian clubs to sign Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee at the end of the campaign, according to Teamtalk.

The Dutchman has been a fringe player for the Mancunian giants and has not started a single game since manager Michael Carrick took temporary charge.

The situation seems unlikely to change in the coming months and it won't come as a surprise if Zirkzee pushes for a new challenge away from the club.

Roma and Juventus were determined to land his signature in the recent transfer window, but United were adamant that he was going nowhere.

That stance is expected to change in the summer. Roma and Juventus are set to face competition from Galatasaray to land the ex-Bologna striker.

Zirkzee was signed by the Gunners for around £35 million, and the Red Devils are expected to demand a package close to that figure for him.

The player's representative has been holding talks with his admirers.
