Bologna coach Motta on Man Utd target Zirkzee: He reminds me of Ronaldinho

Bologna coach Thiago Motta admits he's enjoying working with Joshua Zirkzee.

The Holland striker is being watched by Manchester United, AC Milan and PSG this season.

Motta told Sky Italia: "He has said that his idols are (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic and (Gabriel) Batistuta, who are two great players.

"I see him every day, and I think he reminds me of Ronaldinho, who I played with in Barcelona.

"But I won't compare him to anyone else. He is Joshua, he is special, he enjoys his football and above all he works hard in training."
