Fabio Capello has suggested one manager is struggling to navigate the season without a previous player at his disposal.
After Juventus oversaw a 0-0 draw with Napoli on Saturday, the ex-England boss claimed that Thiago Motta is feeling the absence of Manchester United’s summer recruit Joshua Zirkzee.
Motta also departed Bologna at the beginning of the transfer window, having been offered the chance to succeed Massimiliano Allegri in the dugout at the Allianz. He has yet to lose a game since his tenure began but has dropped points on more than one occasion, overseeing two wins and three draws.
As for Zirkzee, he got off to a dream start with the Red Devils – scoring a late winner on his debut in front of the Stretford End. However, he has yet to add to his tally in his subsequent outings – four league matches and a third-round Carabao Cup tie.
