Joshua Zirkzee he was one of the most talked about players last summer, with many teams wanting to buy him. Thiago Motta’s Juventus in particular pushed hard, but in the end it was the Manchester United to win for 42.5 million euros. The Dutchman is not performing as the Red Devils expected and, according to what was reported by Sun, Erik ten Hag he didn’t even want it.
From what emerges after the European Championship he arrived out of shape and even a little overweight, which slowed down his adjustment and above all disappointed the Dutch coach. The new management of INEOS saw the 23-year-old as a player with good value for money and decided to invest in him, but many fans are still wondering whether he is ready to be a starter or not.
In terms of characteristics, Zirkzee is not a bomber, he is more of a 10, but perhaps that is not what Manchester United needs. The 2001 class skipped the pre-season training camp and took the free time he deserved. Someone inside the club didn’t like the fact that he was on holiday in Los Angeles in the same period in which United were also present and only called to say hello, without sacrificing, as for example done by Lautaro, a few days of holiday to improve his physical condition.
