Joshua Zirkzee had a nightmare evening at Manchester United, replayed in the 33rd minute after the defeat against Newcastle. In loud noises, the game is never heard before and the pressure increases in a difficult season.
The situation is serious for Joshua Zirkzee at Manchester United. In the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle, the Dutch striker was substituted in the 33rd minute, a decision which deeply affected, leaving tears in the dressing room, according to reports.
Aligned in an unusual attacking midfielder role, Zirkzee did not convince. In the 32nd minute, instructor Ruben Amorim, seeking to rebalance his team already behind, decided to replace him. The decision provoked boos and sarcastic applause from Old Trafford, amplifying the player’s dismay. Seen crying in the locker room, Zirkzee returned to the bench to support his colleagues.
First complicated season at United
At a press conference, Amorim explained his choice: “It was difficult, but necessary for the team. Josh is a good boy, and now all the support moving forward. »
Recruited this summer for 43 million euros from Bologna, where he shone in Serie A, Zirkzee is struggling to adapt to the Premier League. With 4 goals and 27 appearances in competitions combined, the attack faces tough and growing competition. His name is already ringing for a possible departure, particularly from Juventus.
