Man Utd will ‘sacrifice' player hailed as ‘amazing' by Lewandowski if they can't find a suitor for £64m letdown
Man Utd will 'sacrifice' player hailed as 'amazing' by Lewandowski if they can't find a suitor for £64m letdown Manchester United will reluctantly look to offload Joshua Zirkzee in the event Rasmus Hojlund stays at the club this summer. INEOS chiefs have been seeking a suitor for the Dane in recent weeks in hopes of recuperating a fee from his departure that can subsequently be spent on a replacement. Advertisement Fabrizio Romano revealed that talks had been going on between United and Inter Milan over Hojlund since May. However, the Champions League finalists, who are floundering to reinforce their attack following their calamitous defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, are currently only willing to take the player on loan with an option/obligation to buy included in the terms. Why United are uninterested in current Hojlund proposal United supporters are at a loss with their frontman. (Photo by) This, of course, doesn't pose as a particularly lucrative deal for United, as replenishing the transfer kitty after Matheus Cunha's arrival is essential if they want to welcome more signings between now and the end of summer. Advertisement Alas, if a deal cannot be agreed between Hojlund and any interested side, Zirkzee will reportedly be 'sacrificed' (GiveMeSport) amid recognition from the key decision-makers that a substantial reshuffle is needed in the attacking contingent – especially with Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho all poised to depart. Zirkzee's tenure cut be cut short after only 12 months The Netherlands star made 14 Premier League starts in 24/25. (Photo by) Zirkzee, 24, oversaw a mixed maiden campaign in M16. He got off to a dream start when notching his first goal on his debut on the opening day against Fulham, coming off the bench in the closing stages to seal a crucial win and reeling off to celebrate in front of the Stretford End. Then, when he failed to add to his account for another four months, fans began questioning whether he was the right fit for the team. Advertisement This led to the Dutch international being unfairly jeered off the pitch when he was hooked before the interval in a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United at the end of December. Credit where it's due, though, he didn't let it get to him, and instead worked on his game by displaying some high-quality performances with his easy-on-the-eye dribbling and link-up play. As such, it's safe to say fans would feel aggrieved to see Zirkzee leave so prematurely, given he joined only a year ago from Bologna and was utilised as more of a rotational option throughout the term. Robert Lewandowski, who played alongside United's No.11 at Bayern Munich, previously said of the striker: 'He (Zirkzee) plays amazing with his back to the goal,' the world-class frontman began. 'He can hold the ball. He can play with one or two touches or bring wingers [into the game]. 'He is also a good finisher in the box. He's big, you know, he's young, but he's big. And I think he can keep the ball very [well].'

Why Ashley Iaconetti Says Going From 1 Kid to 2 Is ‘So Much Harder' Than Being a New Mom
According to Ashley Iaconetti, nothing can prepare a person for being a parent of two — not even parenthood itself. 'So many people told us that zero to one was going to be the hardest, and we definitely find one to two so much harder,' Iaconetti, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, July 3, while discussing Chicco's first-ever potty training line of products. 'We were saying that it seems like your lifestyle, like, maybe changes more from zero to one,' she continued. 'But like, the chaos is definitely the one to two.' Iaconetti and husband Jared Haibon welcomed their second child, a son, on July 22, 2024. 'The Bachelor' Alum Ashley Iaconetti's Quotes About 'Gender Disappointment' After 2 Sons 'Say hello to Hayden Cruise Haibon. He was born at 2:29 p.m. on July 22, 2024, and weighed 8 lbs., 7 oz. at INOVA Fairfax Hospital,' the Bachelor alums told People at the time. (The pair also share son Dawson, born in 2022.) 'Baby is healthy and so is Mama! Seeing Dawson meet his little brother for the first time was as precious as we always imagined the moment would be,' the couple continued. 'Dawson is full of love and kept petting Hayden.' Nearly a year into life as a mom of two, Iaconetti says the transition is ongoing. 'It's so hard because, like, yesterday, Dawson wanted to play outside and we [had] just come home [from] the grocery store and Hayden hadn't eaten for hours,' Iaconetti told Us on Thursday about a recent moment that highlighted how difficult the transition from one child to two can really be. 'I was, like, so stressed because there's just one of those torn moments where it's, like, I want to — my kid so sweet,' she continued. 'He wants to play football outside with me on a summer night, but then I'm thinking about the other one in there who's about to start freaking out. I know if I don't make him dinner right now and then, yeah — it's just, like, this emotional pull where you want to have the undivided attention and just, like, love equally and have the quality time with both of them.' Iaconetti went on to explain that as a mother of two she 'always feel torn,' especially because a 'first child' is always going to 'have this emotional, emotional pull on you.' 'They're so cognizant of what's going on,' she added. Despite the difficult transition, Iaconetti says her firstborn has embraced his big brother role. 'He's been very good since the very beginning,' she said. 'It was just unbelievably cute, the way that he just took to him. Like, he was holding him week one. He is very affectionate, and he's never really been annoyed with Hayden.' Ashley Iaconetti Details 'Chill' Labor: I Wish 'Every Woman Had' the Experience That I Had' She added, '1,000 percent Dawson is Hayden's favorite person, and I love that. That's what I wanted. I'm like, 'Please like your brother even more than me.' He thinks he's so funny. He just loves getting attention from him. And Dawson just kind of, like, thinks of him as his doll.' While navigating life as a mom of two has been challenging, Iaconetti said tackling the often difficult art of potty training was a relatively breeze thanks, in part, to Chicco's official, new product line of potty training products. The Toddler Training Toilet empowers 2- and 3-year-olds to 'take the lead with a realistic flushing sound that reinforces routine,' while the compact, travel-friendly 3-in-1 Potty Training System 'serves first as a potty and then transforms into a toilet topper and step stool once little one is ready to take on the real toilet.' 'Potty training, to me … it was fine. It wasn't as difficult,' she said. 'You know what I'm dreading more? Getting rid of the pacifier.'
