AC Milan adviser - and former Manchester United striker - Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed the Serie A club are no longer trying to sign Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee.

United have been in talks with the 23-year-old, who is presently on Euro 2024 duty, and the path is now clear to a deal being done - if they want it.

The Old Trafford outfit have been looking to add another forward to Erik ten Hag's squad following the summer exit of Anthony Martial.

They would hope to raise some money by selling Mason Greenwood to either Lazio or Marseille.
