New recruit shines on Man United debut: Man Utd has successfully recruited the first new player in the summer of 2024

On July 14, Man Utd announced that Joshua Zirkzee had joined the club. The Dutch striker signed a contract until June 2029, with the option to extend for a further year.

Man United see Zirkzee as a player with a skill set that complements Rasmus Hojlund and is capable of strengthening their forward line.

The 23-year-old scored 11 goals and provided five assists for Bologna, helping Thiago Motta’s side qualify for the Champions League.

Zirkzee is excited to make his Man Utd debut. He said: “I know how exciting the future is here and I can’t wait to play my part in achieving success for Manchester United.”

Zirkzee’s shirt number at Old Trafford is currently unknown.

This striker cost Man Utd 42.5 million euros. However, the Red Devils included a clause to be paid over 3 years to avoid violating financial fair play regulations.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the new board want to complete the transfers as soon as possible, so that coach Ten Hag has more time to prepare for the new season.

Zirkzee is a quality addition to Man Utd.

This player can bring a breath of fresh air to the аttаck.

After Zirkzee, Man Utd promises to bring in 2 more central defenders and a midfielder this summer.
