Earlier this month, Erik ten Hag told reporters in Norway why the club had moved decisively to secure Zirkzee’s signature.
“He is a player who can link up the game, who can be available, hold up the ball, have good ideas, be creative, can dribble, [make] combinations,” he explained.
“So that’s a different type and always what we are looking for, so it gives us more options tactically, which is good because, especially up front, we have many players who can play very direct and they can take a big benefit from his skills.”
Keep an eye out on the United app and ManUtd.com tomorrow (Tuesday 30 July), when we’ll bring you more photos and the first video of Zirkzee in training.
