By Katie Catherall Manchester United's summer signing Joshua Zirkzee has revealed the role he would like to play in Erik ten Hag's system, labelling himself a 'false striker'. The Red Devils announced Zirkzee as their first incoming transfer under INEOS' control of footballing operations at Old Trafford in July. The former Bologna star helped his side qualify for the Champions League last season, registering 37 appearances and 12 goals across the campaign. He's set to become a vital part of United's upcoming Premier League season, joining Rasmus Hojlund at the front of attack. The Netherlands ...

By Jamie Spencer Manchester United fans can take an educated guess at the shirt number that new £36.5m signing Joshua Zirkzee will wear for the club after a key change elsewhere. Unlike Leny Yoro getting 15, Zirkzee was not quickly assigned a squad number following his arrival. The Dutchman had worn No.9 on his back for Bologna in 2023/24. But he had also previously worn 11 in his debut season for the Serie A club. The 9 shirt was the one available at Old Trafford following the June departure of Anthony Martial, but there was a feeling that it could be gobbled up by Rasmus Hojlund, who was Uni...

By Jude Summerfield New Manchester United signing Joshua Zirkzee says he will happily take either the number 9 or 11 shirt after his transfer from Bologna was confirmed. United announced the Netherlands international's arrival last week for a fee believed to be slightly more than his £34m release clause. He joins the FA Cup holders after playing a starring role in Bologna's surprise qualification for the Champions League. The Red Devils are yet to confirm their new shirt numbers for the 2024/25 season and the 9 jersey is free after Anthony Martial left on a free transfer. Rasmus Hojlund arrive...

By Toby Cudworth Erik ten Hag says Manchester United signed Joshua Zirkzee because he offers a different kind of threat up front, giving him tactical flexibility as the club look to build on the foundations of last season's FA Cup win. The Red Devils endured a difficult 2023/24 campaign, crashing out of the Champions League at the group stage before recording their worst-ever Premier League finish, but their 19 defeats in all competitions was a blow softened by the FA Cup final win over neighbourhood rivals Manchester City. That victory ensured entry into this season's Europa League, at the ex...

By Jamie Spencer New Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has revealed that he told Kobbie Mainoo "see you soon" when the two briefly chatted after last week's Euro 2024 semi-final.

The pair were then spotted in conversation following the final whistle. At that point, Zirkzee already knew he was bound for United after talks had been ongoing over the course of several weeks – 90min first revealed i...

By Sean Walsh Manchester United struggled to find a consistent source of goals during the 2023/24 season, and they have swiftly looked to address that issue in the summer transfer window. In Joshua Zirkzee, United are getting a forward who has it all - the ability to lead the line, link up well with others and get the best out of those around him. It's hard to say whether Zirkzee will be a 20-goal-a-season striker, but if United play to his strengths, it might not matter. The Dutchman's knack of bringing those around him into play could lead to a scoring boom in the final third. Here are the d...

The 23-year-old striker becomes the first incoming under INEOS' control of footballing operations at Old Trafford. 90min first revealed in January that Zirkzee was being monitored by United as a summer transfer target owing to his fine form in Serie A, eventually helping Bologna qualify for the Champions League at the end of the 2023/24 season.

By Sean Walsh Joshua Zirkzee is closing in on a move to Manchester United, and if all goes to plan, he'll soon be holding a loft one of those famous red shirts.

Joshua Zirkzee shirt number historyPull up a chair, we have some archives to dig through.

The Bologna forward is set to become the Old Trafford club's first signing of the summer after an agreement between the club was struck over a structured payment plan.

He is expected to sign a long-term contract in Manchester until 2029, with an option for a further 12 months. D...
