Ten Hag Unimpressed with Zirkzee’s Physique
Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was reportedly not keen on signing striker Joshua Zirkzee this summer. The Dutch manager was reportedly unimpressed with the player’s physical condition, deeming him overweight and out of shape.
Zirkzee, who joined United from Bologna for €42.5 million, has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford. Despite a promising start with a goal on his Premier League debut, his form has since declined significantly.
With limited playing time and fan discontent, Zirkzee is now expected to leave the club in January, either on loan or permanently. Juventus, where he previously excelled under Thiago Motta, have been linked with a potential move.
