Manchester United newcomer Joshua Zirkzee said fans can expect to see a creative, unpredictable player who developed his skills in cage football, and idolised Ronaldinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The 23-year-old striker signed for United on Sunday after an excellent season with Serie A club Bologna where he scored 11 goals and made five assists and helped them secure a place in the Champions League group stage.
"Obviously at a good point, making a transfer to Manchester United is obviously something very positive, so yeah, I just can't wait to get started and continue what I basically did last season." "As a young boy growing up, playing mostly with tougher, bigger guys who are older than you make you adapt, so I think that's something that you learn at a young age in Holland, especially where I grew up," Zirkzee said.He laughingly recounted the countless times he got in trouble with his mother for coming home late.
Zirkzee said having a Dutch manager in Erik ten Hag"is a privilege" and the added presence of Ruud van Nistelrooy – the former Netherlands and Man United player who joined Ten Hag's coaching staff earlier this week – will help him adjust to his new team. But they are not the only reasons he made the move to United.
