THE BIGGER PICTURE

DID YOU KNOW?
Zirkzee began his career at Bayern Munich but struggled for game time at the German giants. Loan spells at Parma and Anderlecht followed before he signed permanently for Bologna in 2022. Since then he has scored 14 goals and bagged nine assists in 58 appearances.
WHAT NEXT?
If this transfer goes through, he will be unveiled as a United player soon. He will then head off for a shorter summer break following the Netherlands’ exit from Euro 2024, before returning to the Red Devils for pre-season in the coming weeks.
