Zirkzee’s name has been circulating across Europe as an option to bring in. He’s not just linked with United. AC Milan want him, and they want him as their top target. Others are said to be interested too...

#ManchesterUnited #JoshuaZirkzee #Zirkzee
The thing with this lad is we are buying a player maybe a year or two early than 7 or 8 years too late as we normally do
Don’t forget about Berba !!
Berbatov was exactly the push that the forward line needed in terms of internal competition and quality ! ❤️🇧🇬
Zirkzee IN !
A summer window of Zhirkzee, Ugarte, hopefully Rabiot, De Ligt and a LB would be solid.
Not Rabiot.
I’d probably prefer Amrabat to Rabiot
@@slashssnakepit4444Me too but rabiot is free agent while amrabat still might cost us minimum 20mil..?? Not sure the price on amrabat.
@@ridzuansufian3823might cost us just as much in wages for Rabiot
No Rabiot. United is not a retirement ground.
In 2008, we played 4-4-2 more than just a couple of times 😊
Playing a front two of Højlund and Zirkzee is gonna be interesting
Isn't going to happen is it.
Rooney-Van Nistelrooy but with more pace
Won't happen unless we are losing but yes will be interesting to see when it does happen
That probably won't happen but we can sub a winger for Zirkzee and keep Hojlund on if we're chasing a game
@@lancerevo9747 ……….both Rooney and RvN was bloody rapid.
We've just had a season ravaged by injuries, why are people having to explain why it's good to have more than one option in different positions?!
Does anyone actually believe this is a bad idea?
No one is questioning that we need at least one more striker. People are questioning whether it should be zirkzee.
This guy cannot get on the pitch at the euros..3 minutes out 450.....this is a terrible idea, third rate player...not elite...waste of money and time...the is guy is worse than Weghourst..or he would be on the field not the bench.
BAD IDEA WALK AWAY
@@uberhoofenhoussen4186 I'm glad someone else sees it. Everybody seems to watch his highlight reel and thinks this is how he plays all game, every game.
@@uberhoofenhoussen4186Gordon can’t get on the pitch for England does that make him a terrible player?
@@Generalggg no, but Gordon has Eze and Foden in his way. Zirkzee has Weghorst in his way.
As soon as I saw the profile of him, he's perfect. And again, Bologna under Motta were doing a lot of the same things Ten Hag did in his first season, it's why I'm fingers crossed that we go after Calafiori too, but I think we'll only get 1 player out of them.
He's the Weghorst type 9.5 that you can build a frontline around, while also being a better goalscorer than Weghorst. Which really suits the rest of our forwards, who aren't creative players. Bruno, Garnacho and Rashford all ended last season with more goals than assists, and Antony's shots per 90 is double his key passes per 90. They all ended the season with at least 1 more shots per 90 than Hojlund, which continues what we saw the previous season with Martial and Weghorst.
I said 12 months ago, if United need a striker, you need someone who fits the team. We wanted Kane who would have been perfect, didn't get Kane so went for a totally different profile of player. 12 months later, Hojlund with coaching is starting to maybe look like an okay fit, but we probably need different wingers to get the best out of him. But Zirkzee is the right fit for the players we have now, and I think he may play more than people think.
Great value is the trait shared between our top 3 targets. If we finish as we started we might have reversed the united tax in one window
Let’s go Stephen!
looking forward to this one
This seems like a signing you'd make if you're open to playing 3-5-2. That might not be a bad idea with Højlund sitting on the shoulder, Zirkzee dropping into midfield and maybe laying it off to Bruno. Could potentially play into the strengths of everyone
United should get fulkurng. He puts the fear in defenders
Zirzkee is Firmino with a Karim Benzema esque ceiling if he can ever gain the confidence in his finishing
I really can't believe Bayern got rid of this kid if I'm being honest. This would have been the perfect time for them to bring him into the squad and start after the year he had. Musiala, Zirkzee, Olise in the same would be wild
Zirzkee has a literal identical profile to Harry Kane, better to cash in and invest opposed to stunting his growth.
Love the kit! Millennium title vibes
GGMU ❤
Media continously hypes up "possible" transfers and we wonder why fees are totally inflated. This past week, every channel is on and on.... about this transfer.
We have been hearing this deal from 2weeks now, same old story every day
All these guys are just putting out content without knowing anything that's really going on inside ManU. Making you think they do ;-) But every now and then I watch to check an analyses or something. Most of the time you can skip the vids
It's analyse. He hasn't said he's definitely signing.
Manchester United can pretty much make 1 signing at this stage.
So, who do they sign first?
In order to make further signings, they need to sell.
The likes of Casemiro, Sancho, Greenwood, Lindelof, and Maguire are still there, and nobody has made an offer for them.
Zirkzee is a handful, raw but he grafts
I used to have that shirt! No idea where it is now
Are you trying to say that Howsen stole it on you ?
Keano at highbury 👌
Holjund on the left greenwood on the right zirkzee leading the line and dropping deep to allow holjund and greenwood to loose there markers.. lethal front three 🔥
He’s sort of a more physical Tadic. I think he would fit perfectly in Ten Hag’s system.
Too bad Koeman keeps putting Memphis Depay on as a starter. Would love to see him play with Xavi, Gakpo and Malen atleast once.
What, depay is a good footballer and very experienced, weghorst Is who he should replaced
He’s not going to back up. He’s gonna start
He puts pressure on Rashford and Hoijlund if we bag him. A no brainer signing
There's an interview where Zirkzee says he'd love to play at the San Siro. I think United need to be forceful in changing his mind and do it quickly, because its a new regime, but its slowly becoming the same old same old. The window has been open now, and some deals have been done already. The longer this and other deals go on, the less likely i feel that they will happen.
Is he signed?
We desperately need to improve our midfield area, not enough supply to strikers. Most of the criticism, in my view, should go there. Cant only rely on Bruno.
Zirkzee isn’t really a 9 or a goal scorer either. He’s a linkup type of player like Kane without the goals. Rasmus would want to play with him at least he’ll get passes. the wingers would prefer to play with him too, but he won’t score
How many goals has he scored this season?
Bring toin
In to man United ⚽
Team is absolutely SCREAMING out for a proper CDM got bruno, kobbie, mount, erikson even mctominay for the two 8s, casemiro make the best paid backup in the world but fit the role nicely but we need a premier league winning CDM
I’ll be honest Zirkzee will be a starter and Rasmus will be the understudy
Feels like a Newcastle signing 😢
I thought his release clause opened July 1st??
how are holland playing depay and weghourst over him if hes that good?
Depay is s top footballer and very experienced
@@tracer073 experienced? yes, top? no chance, the only league he hasn't flopped in is ligue 1
If ever we played the double false nine like we did with Bruno and McTominay in the final, Zirkzee replaces Scotty with finesse
I’m hoping we see a Bruno and Kobbie midfield partnership this season.
No defensive mid?
What about Amad?
Ste, should United go for Chiesa who is price tag at 25mil(Euro) to play on the right?
I know I'm not Ste but, I like that player, alot.
Imo tho, probably not.
He has had injuries which to me, can be the only reason for that price tag. He certainly didn't look as sharp as he used in the Euro's.
He'd be like sixth or lower on the list of our priorities too.
Would he be a potential replacement for Rashford?
Zirkzee still needs service hojlund didn’t get much made his own chances half the time
So if we get him, then who are we gonna rely on to score the goals? Or is it Rashford again for another year?
Hojlund will score if anyone actually bothers to pass to him 🤷♂️
@@slashssnakepit4444 And who will do that 🤷♂️?
@@YS9136Zirkzee? Amad.
Sounds like another CAM. So we are back to 5 CAMs: Bruno, Eriksen, Mount, MacTominay, Zirkzee. But since United players doesn't pass to the striker, maybe it's not a bad idea of having all these CAMs and false 9s who can play instead of a striker.
LMAO
Taking a long, long time to get anyone to sign on the dotted line. Lots of chat from the bloggers etc but nothing else. All our rivals are signing player after player weeks ago. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
I’m getting a martial vibe to this transfer. I.e non typical number 9, more focused on playmaking.
Martial didn't focus on playmaking.. He scored tons of goals.
His issues were injuries and lack of physicality. He was easily robbed off the ball.
@@akinyemiakintayo5530 I’ll be honest mate, I fundamentally disagree with most of that. 89 goals in 342 matches suggests otherwise.
When I say “playmaking”, I’m referring to him being more a false 9 than a true 9. A connector of play.
I’d also suggest his physicality was one of his better traits.
@@GCDvlogs nah, I disagree... 89 goals in 342 matches is a reflection of his recurring injuries, different managers and his laziness. I'm not even a Martial fan at that and I wanted him to leave the club but there are many factors at play here. And physicality is never one of his traits. He can't handle the physicality in the league. Though, he is sleek with the ball and has that goal sense if given the chance.
I'm not a Zirkzee fan as well because I barely watched him. But take it or leave it, we need another forward, we can't rely only on Hojlund and also we don't expect the club to buy the likes of Toney, Watkins etc because of PSR... And there are other positions to fill with money as well. So the people at the top have lots of work to do at that club, because it's crumbling.
@@akinyemiakintayo5530 agreed brother. Either way, I’m naively hopeful either way!
@@GCDvlogs we hope for the best... I pray last season won't repeat itself 😂
And we need to sell the deadwoods which we haven't even done yet.
There are many players that have nothing to offer who're still at the club.
Orobosa!
Why a younger striker ? How about Rasmus then ?? Why not Toney instead, he’s Prem proven !!
Zirkzee reminds me of Zlatan a bit.. he's movement and style of play! A baller clearly.. But of course, not as good as the goat!
Heard someone say the same thing
I'm getting a red flag from this signing.
20M max for this guy. he doesn't have any pace which is concerning adn he cant get on the bencgh for Holland.
Who would you leave out to play both Zirkzee and Rasmussen?
Rasmus 😂 autocorrect 😅
Rashford
Who is Rasmussen?
United fans need to accept that Zirkzee will be an undisputed starter from day 1. We saw the whole season last year and also in the Euros that Rasmus is not ready to be a starter, taking him out of the spotlight will also help him improve and develop.
What we saw last year was 99% off goals he had to make for himself.. Garnacho and Rashford never ever looked for him.. Denmark are pants are hardly created any chances for him also..
No striker will score for us unless that changes
You say this because Zirkzee scored 20+ goals last season and he is lighting up the Euros or ?
What are you basing your opinion on?
Zirkzee could be mctominay replacement, both operate similar area of the pitch and mctominay isn't a central midfielder
@@davidublinyou're actually brilliant for that idea 💯
How do you know that? Hojlund is great too and they both young and the best thing about this transfer is they're completely different types of strikers. Different games will rely on Zirkzee more, others on Hojlund's ability. Some may need both. A good problem to have as a club.
4-4x-2as always been the best option for me .❤️
cant wait for fernandes to cry every time zirk touches the ball and demanding he give it to him . id sell bruno in a heartbeat
It's a fckn disgrace that we currently have only one forward, Zirkzee, I haven't seen enough of the lad to give opinion but the one thing we must improve is creating chances, Rasmus was starved of changes last season and he'll score given the chance, need another two strikers possibly Zirkzee and I'd suggest an older professional that won't tolerate these fckn muppets like Rashford, someone who can raise some passion and fighting spirit.... if only we could turn the clock back and get Sparky!!
This is 2024, we don't play 4-4-2 Anymore.
Reports that I read were that the release clause is active from 1st July UNTIL August not FROM August.
Would make more sense, one month window to buy in July, so that Bologna don't lose him too late for them to have time to replace him 😉
. Onana
Dalot de Ligt Martinez Shaw
Ugarte Mainoo
Garnacho Fernandes Rashford
Zirkzee
Why not hojlund of the right rather then garnacho. Hojlund could offer everything that garnacho does but more with his physicality
Then we would work as a midfield box with bruno and the midfielders. While hojlund and rashford would work as the speedy forwards
Personally I'm not convinced at all by Zirkzee, even as a sub.
Personally I have mixed feelings about his quality and the fact he only had 1 decent ish season in his career but I’m hopeful that he’s going to be good for us
It's not a bad price for him.... better than paying 100 million to someone like Brighton in 2 years
Everyone moans when we spend 100 mil instead of getting them before they’re worth that.. can we not try it for once
@@AshBashSneakersour fans always complain, you've never noticed?
so overrated, of course though like every other signing the top reds hype him to the moon
I like it to....get him in.
Chiesa for 20 million 🤔🤔🤔
Not signed him yet
Nobody said he had signed.
@@dawnmancaloriankeebals4262 title suggests so
@tobyhellewell5981 No, it doesn't, that's just your interpretation.
Basically Kane...
Who??? And in what way???
Stop pining for content and views and just do a single video for pros and cons. My god. 🤦♂️
How about I do what I want?
Is today the day I get a like 🤞
Didn’t make the Dutch Euro team but Weghorst did?!
One managers opinion means nothing.. that’s like saying camavinga is 💩 because they start Rabiot
Lol he is there but doesn't play
@@AshBashSneakerswell put
well put
@@AshBashSneakersyeah, and people saying the same thing about de Ligt. People are silly truly
Why is everyone raving about this guy? They watch a highlight reel and think hes amazing. He really isnt. His best ever scoring tally is 12 - TWELVE - goals. He doesnt even get many assists. Netherlands prefer to play with no steiker rather than Zirkzee.
@@mm2801 it was 10 actually and he was 3 years younger than Zirkzee. And who said I backed him? I didn't say anything about Hojlund I actually think we were ripped off massively. If we'd paid £30-40m fair enough, but we shouldn't have made him the first choice.
@@mm2801 Again.... I did not talk about Hojlund, I didn't say I backed him and I didn't say 10 was more than 12. But I will say, he was 20 years old at Atalanta and was first choice for them. At 20 years old, Zirkzee played 4 games for Parma and didn't score. Hojlund is more developed than Zirkzee but 2 years younger.
I do agree with you about the excuses for hojlund though. It wasn't a case that people were refusing to pass to him. He was rarely in a good position to pass to and he doesn't time his runs well. But like I said, he's 21 - you expect that while he's learning.
@@mm2801 it's not stats it's facts. If one player is playing first team football regularly at the age of 20 in Serie A, and one player makes 4 sub appearances in a whole season at the age of 20 in Serie A, common sense tells you the one that plays regularly is more developed.
Why are you so hard for Zirkzee anyway? Why do you want him at United? Oh ok, you're one of these guys that watches a highlight reel and thinks this is how he plays all game, every game.
Take a look at his career. He's had one good season in Belgium and one ok season in Serie A. The fact that Netherlands would rather take Weghorst to the Euros says a lot. And before you come back with crap about Hojlund and how many good seasons he's had and where - I didn't say anything about Hojlund in my original comment.
@@mm2801 I'm guessing you're about 12 years old. The best comeback you've got is "you don't watch football"??? I've been watching and playing football my whole life and I'm in my mid-40s.
Yes, Zirkzee looks technically competent. But his all round game is not on the level you seem to think it is. I watched a lot of serie A games last season and probably 5-6 bologna games. Zirkzee looked pretty average to me. He drifts in and out of games. Sometimes he doesn't look that interested and sometimes if he gets clattered he disappears altogether. In the premier league, he will get clattered every game.
As for what you said about Weghorst, if you think a Burnley reject that failed to score a single league goal in half a season despite playing for a united team that finished in the top 4, is a better player than Zirkzee - then you've argued yourself into a dead end. Yes he works hard, but I prefer my strikers to score. You need ability to be a striker in the premier league.
Weghorst did not cause Rashford to score 30 goals and he wasn't chosen over Bruno to play as a 10. He filled in for Bruno when Bruno had to play on the right wing in a couple of games. Don't exaggerate. It's pathetic.
@@mm2801 silly little child. It doesn't mean I lied about watching games. I would first have to say I have never watched games and then admit I have watched games. I didn't do that, did I? Wtf are you talking about a "narrative" for??? Is that a word you've seen in comment sections and thought it would make you seem intelligent??
My original comment questioned why people are rating Zirkzee so highly as a striker when his best ever goal tally is 12. YOU started arguing about Hojlund only getting 9 once - even though I didn't mention hojlund!!!!! So that's how the conversation developed into talking about stats. Also, I questioned if people were judging him based on highlight reels. How the hell is that me saying I've never watched him play???
I also question why Netherlands took Weghorst instead of Zirkzee if Zirkzee is so good - YOU were the one that attempted to justify that decision by praising a proven failure - NOT ME.
Yes, let's just leave this conversation where it is. It's looking like we'll be signing Zirkzee so we'll see how good he is. Personally, I don't think he's that good. Certainly not good enough for people like you to get your knickers in a twist defending him.
4-4-2 or 4-2-4 with a midfield of Mainoo and Bruno front 2 with zikzee and hojlund if we keep Greenwood and Amad that’s
First comment
Just a little late to the party
He is not a United forward yet. I think he is kinda clunky and slow, has 1-2, plays from deep, so obviously will be bringing the wingers in... I just feel the guy's not United quality. But reverting to 442 in certain games will unlease Hojlund's pace and speed, Zirkzee seems to thrive on deep, as a 10, and then has a good through ball in him... a bit slow as a forward in my view... would prefer to promote Ethan Wheatley... remember, this guy is 23-24, Hojlund is around that age too... when is Ethan going to be brought in? So, consider that too.
Zirkzee has pace and better technical skills, dribbling, ball carrying two-footedness and creativity than Wheatley.
Premature this
Zirkzee is not the answer if he can’t get in the Holland side for 1 minute then we should be looking elsewhere wout weghorst gets the nod before him says it all really
Not really.
Would you say the same about toney or Watkins or solanke not getting picked over a rubbish harry kane? No you'd say southgates a melon, koeman is a Dutch southgate and won't pick him because he's new. All reports say he's impressed in Netherlands training. Hope that explains it for you! 👍
Zirkzee offers much more than just finishing chances the way he drops deep and creates chances is nothing like anything we currently have in the team he will be invaluable for building attacks
That's like saying Wharton is crap because Southgate won't play him. "Gallagar getting the nod before him says it all really" - you
WoW!😮
I don't mind to be proved wrong but zirkzee he's not top class player
What worries me about united is we pinning our hopes on 2 dutch players who are 3rd choice in current national team. Weghorst is prefered to zirkzee. And de ligt dont get minutes either. Warning signs are there!
Yeah, about Koeman
Camavinga and Tchoumani won the lot and warm the bench for France... You mind telling me how your logic works for them?
@@ameyagokhale5123 must be shit mate 🤣
@@ameyagokhale5123 yeah sure. As i said....weghorst is in front of zirkzee. Look who gets the nod in a underperforming yet well drilled proven france team. Look at who is ahead of camavinga n tchoumani. different quality.
If he goes to Brighton then in a year his price tag is 100million. You are the same type of human that will cry again on why we didn't get him when he was affordable.
Ridiculous.😂
Hojlunds iq is poor and all round game is basic. If zirkzee can settle he'll take that spot. I can't understand why united fans think hojlund must be the future, he's so far from being a generational talent.
because this fanbase loves to hype average players, why do you think McTominay is still here?
The fact that Wout Weghorst comes on for the Netherlands ahead of zirkzee who hasn't even got his boots dirty at these Euros says everything you need to know, he hasn't even played a minute to my knowledge ,what does this tell you about his ability in a poor Dutch attacking line up. Another over rated player who will do nothing at United like Anthony who cost 80 plus million and looks like a league two player. Hojland is rubbish too, I can't see anything in his game that even offers promise, these two as a partnership will most likely get us 15 Goals between them. 😂 Let's face it we ain't attracting top players anymore sad but true
This is nonsense dalot does not start for Portugal and he was possibly our best player last season
It is rare for a replacement player to get much game time at a tournament because he has not been part of the core group!He is a future star for the Netherlands but is getting good experience training and getting used to the team.
He will only come on if there is an injury or suspension to Weghorst,Depay,Malen or Bergwyn! The 4 players ahead of him have lots more experience at club level or tournaments than Zirkzee!
This is not a defining tournament for him and we should not forget Ronaldo did not play a minute at USA '94 when Brazil won the World cup although everyone in Brazil or PSV knew about his talent and potential but he was not starting ahead of Romario and Bebeto!
So... You're telling me Tchoumani and Camavinga are shit because They get benched by Kante and Rabiot
😂😂😂😂
Zirkzee is top-notch mate. Koeman is just too rigid.
Yesi don't rate either of them at all@@ameyagokhale5123
Another striker who doesn’t score many goals
Why buy someone who is currently unable to get on the filed (3 minutes out 450) at the euros, being kept off the park by worldie Weghourst LOL...HOW BAD CAN ZIRKZEE BE??????
DO NOT BUY!! If he was any good he'd be starting for Holland not fifth choice sub
