Fabio Capello has tipped Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee to leave Old Trafford this summer and return to Serie A with AC Milan.<\/p>\n

Zirkzee has struggled to make an impact at United since his arrival from Bolonga for \u00a336.5million two summer ago.<\/p>\n

The Dutch striker has started only four Premier League matches this season, and has scored a meagre five goals in his 52 league appearances across both seasons.<\/p>\n

The arrivals of Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo last summer saw Zirkzee tumble further down the pecking order, with the 24-year-old widely expected to leave this summer in search of regular first-team football.<\/p>\n

And former England manager Capello wants to see Zirkzee return to Italy, urging Milan to make a move for the striker as a potential replacement for Rafael Leao.<\/p>\n

\u2018If I were Milan, I\u2019d make the swap immediately,\u2019 Capello told Gazzetta. \u2018I\u2019d see the Dutchman as a much better fit in Max\u2019s 3-5-2.<\/p>\n

\u2018Zirkzee is someone who gets the team playing and is very good at communicating with his teammates.\u2019<\/p>\n

Capello continued: \u2018For me, the Zirkzee-Pulisic partnership would be brilliant. <\/p>\n

\u2018If Sorloth and either Gimenez or Nkunku were alternatives, one could say the attack is in good shape.\u2019<\/p>\n

Zirkzee was injured when Michael Carrick was installed as interim head coach, but has played just 39 minutes under the Englishman.<\/p>\n

The forward is expected to be one of several United players made available for transfer this summer as the Red Devils plot their latest rebuild.<\/p>\n

Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund could see their loan moves to Barcelona and Napoli made permanent at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Andre Onana, who has also been out on loan, is unlikely to win back his place in goal, given the form of Senne Lammens and could be sold.<\/p>\n

And elsewhere, the club will reportedly listen to offers for Manuel Ugarte, whose only start under Carrick came in the 2-1 defeat to Leeds United.<\/p>\n
