Joshua Zirkzee is set to claim the coveted No.9 shirt at Manchester United following Anthony Martial’s departure. The 23-year-old forward, pivotal in Bologna’s impressive fifth-place Serie A finish last season with 11 goals and four assists, is strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer.
Zirkzee’s stellar club form, formerly with Bayern Munich, earned him a debut for the Netherlands during Euro 2024, where he played a crucial role off the bench in their quarter-final victory against Turkey. United, alongside other top European clubs, are keen on securing Zirkzee to fill the void left by Martial’s exit at the end of his contract.
The move signals a significant shift in transfer strategy under the new leadership, with majority owners INEOS now guiding market decisions independently of the Glazers. Despite earlier reservations from co-chairman Joel regarding Martial, Zirkzee represents a fresh opportunity for United’s attacking lineup under their revamped hierarchy.
