A FAMILIAR TEAM-MATE
Later in the edit, at Zirkzee’s interview shoot, we ask him if he already knows any of his United team-mates. He reveals that he used to go to school with Tyrell Malacia and knows him very well. Ty, who we will hopefully see a lot more of this season after injury, is a couple of years older than his fellow Dutchman, but both men hail from the Rotterdam area.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF OLD TRAFFORD
Later in the day, JZ makes his first-ever pilgrimage to the Theatre of Dreams, commenting on the size of the stadium and its overpowering character.
“It’s incredible,” he says. “It’s huge. It doesn’t look like this on TV, do you know what I mean. It shocked me a little bit. It has an aura to it.”
