Manchester United have added a new striker with Joshua Zirkzee completing his transfer to the Red Devils.
A week ago, Dutch media reported that Joshua Zirkzee would join Manchester United after the Netherlands’ participation in Euro 2024 concluded.

England defeated Zirkzee’s Netherlands last week, and United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo was seen embracing Zirkzee at full-time.
Shortly thereafter, Zirkzee’s move to Manchester United was confirmed, with the agreement finalized, medical completed, and the player officially presented.
Joshua Zirkzee’s transfer to Manchester United has been finalized, with the forward being presented on Sunday afternoon.
Sporting director Dan Ashworth praised Zirkzee’s world-class potential, while Zirkzee expressed his excitement about securing the biggest move of his career.
Zirkzee received congratulations from Bologna and several teammates from both his club and country.
One of them was Dutch international midfielder Xavi Simons, who The Sun claims is a surprising transfer target for Manchester United this summer.
Simons responded to Zirkzee’s Instagram post about his major transfer, leaving three heart emojis.
Another player associated with United, Bologna’s Dan Ndoye, also sent his congratulations to Zirkzee.
Joshua Zirkzee is Manchester United’s first signing of summer 2024 and is anticipated to be the first of many.
United need reinforcements in defense and midfield, and there could potentially be another striker signing if the right opportunity arises.
Ineos executed a smart deal for Zirkzee, addressing a key position and doing so for a very reasonable fee.
By the end of the summer transfer window, we might see his Dutch teammate playing alongside Zirkzee. Erik ten Hag is a big fan of Xavi Simons, while Matthijs de Ligt is also expected to join.
