OFFICIAL: Manchester United announce first summer signing
Manchester United has officially confirmed the arrival of Joshua Zirkzee as their first signing of the summer.
Zirkzee joins England’s most successful club from Bologna in a deal worth a little over €40 million as the first signing of the club’s new co-owners.
Zirkzee could pull the number 9 shirt for the club following the departure of Anthony Martial as a free agent at the end of his contract in June.
Joshua Zirkzee is a versatile forward and could play any role in attack, given that United signed a young centre forward, Rasmus Hojlund, the previous summer for almost double the fee and wouldn’t want to hamper his growth so early in his career.
