Manchester United are set to pay the buyout clause in Joshua Zirkzee's Bologna contract, according to The Sun.

The Netherlands striker is being considered at the Red Devils to give Erik ten Hag more options upfront for next season.

His current contract has a €40 million release clause, and United are ready to meet the price.

Zirkzee who had an impressive season at Bologna is also wanted by AC Milan.

However, the player's agent Kia Joorabchian is demanding €15m as commission, which has turned off the Italian giants.
