It’s official — former Bayern Munich striker Joshua Zirkzee has signed with Manchester United. Zirkzee will make the move from Bologna.
“Having had discussions with the manager and the leaders of the club I know how exciting the future is going to be here and I cannot wait to play my part in achieving success for Manchester United,” Zirkzee said (as captured by journalist Ben Jacobs). “I am a player who has always dedicated everything to winning; I’m ready for this next challenge, to go to another level in my career and win more trophies.
“It is a privilege to join such an iconic club. I have to take a short break now after being with the national team, but I’ll be coming back ready to make an impact straight away.”
Ready to make his mark
