Joshua Zirkzee is thrilled to be joining Manchester United, which he considers to be the top club in the world.

Joshua Zirkzee, the talented Dutch striker, has expressed his confidence in Manchester United’s future plans after signing a five-year contract with the club.

Zirkzee, who featured twice for the Netherlands at Euro 2024, including a memorable cameo against England in the semi-finals, joins United after a rollercoaster few weeks during the tournament.

While representing his country, Zirkzee was aware of the ongoing negotiations that would bring him to Old Trafford. Now, he arrives in Manchester at a time when manager Erik ten Hag is looking to revitalize the team following their disappointing Premier League finish last season. Although United did win the FA Cup, both fans and management are demanding better results from Ten Hag, who recently had his contract extended.

In an interview with the club’s media team, Zirkzee expressed his excitement about joining Manchester United, stating that the decision was not difficult for him. He spoke highly of the club, saying that they gave him a very positive feeling. Zirkzee is confident that the plans in place for the team will come to fruition and is eager to get started and continue his progress from last season.

Ten Hag will be relying on Zirkzee to maintain his impressive form from last season, during which he scored 12 goals for Bologna. This puts him behind only Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes in terms of United’s goal output. Zirkzee is thrilled to be joining the biggest club in the world and is looking forward to getting to know his new teammates and embarking on this exciting journey.

Manchester United’s upcoming schedule includes the Community Shield match against Manchester City on August 10, followed by their opening Premier League fixture against Fulham at Old Trafford six days later. Zirkzee is taking a short break to relax before returning to Manchester and getting started. He is particularly excited about playing at the iconic Old Trafford stadium and is highly motivated for the challenges that lie ahead.
