Manchester United star Joshua Zirkzee has reportedly split from his long-time partner.
Zirkzee, 23, has had a difficult time at Old Trafford since joining the Bologna club for £36.5 million this summer.
The forward scored on his debut against Fulham but struggled to get going, with the Dutchman failing to secure a consistent starting spot.
Zirkzee scored just four times in 25 games and United boss Ruben Amorim regularly favored Rasmus Hojlund in attack.
And now, according to reports, the 23-year-old has suffered another blow GSM claim that Zirkzee has split from his girlfriend, Celina Jada Kerr.
The report claims the pair were known as ‘old lovers’ from Zirkzee’s time at Bayern Munich, who he joined at the age of 16.

Zirkzee was in a relationship with the German model and influencer Celina Jada Kerr

Kerr is a model and influencer from Germany who graduated from Berlin with a degree in media and communications management.
She was alongside Zirkzee during his time with the German giants and Bologna, while the Dutchman also enjoyed loan spells at Parma and Anderlecht in his early years.
They had generally kept their personal lives private on social media, but were once seen hugging during a video shoot with JD Sports.
During the shoot, the couple wore unisex tracksuits from JD Sports, and Kerr proudly shared it on her Instagram feed.
However, questions began to emerge about her relationship with Zirkzee when she was left out of the Manchester forward following his move.
Eyebrows were similarly raised when neither of them shared photos of each other over the summer.
The report adds that Zirkzee and Kerr have now unfollowed each other on social media.
The model, who has over 100,000 followers on Instagram, has also started deleting posts from the couple, including the aforementioned JD Sports shoot.

Meanwhile, Zirkzee was substituted after 54 minutes during the Red Devils’ disastrous 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday, having scored from the bench against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup last Thursday.
The 23-year-old, who has only started 10 times for United, will be back in action on Boxing Day when Amorim’s side take on Wolves at Molineux.
