Renowned former England manager Fabio Capello has strongly recommended that AC Milan pursue the acquisition of Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee. The Italian tactician believes that pairing Zirkzee with Christian Pulisic would create a formidable attacking duo for the Rossoneri.
Capello, speaking to Gazzetta, emphasized that Zirkzee’s style of play is perfectly suited for Milan’s current system. He said, “If I were in charge at AC Milan, I would complete the swap (Zirkzee joining Milan) without hesitation. I see the Dutch striker as an ideal fit for Max’s 3-5-2 formation.”
The Dutch international has struggled to make a significant impact at Old Trafford since his transfer from Bologna two years ago. Capello highlighted Zirkzee’s ability to link up play and communicate effectively on the pitch. “Zirkzee is a player who brings the team into the game and excels at interacting with his teammates. In my view, the partnership between him and Pulisic would be exceptional,” Capello added.
