WHAT HAPPENED?
Zirkzee made an immediate impact upon his arrival at Old Trafford in August, scoring the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Fulham on his debut. However, this initial form soon fizzled out and has remained goalless across the following 10 games for United, which has fuelled criticism from fans and pundits alike.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
United’s £36.5 million summer signing from Bologna has failed to live up to expectations on the pitch but his social media game happens to be on point. A popular social media channel recently released a satirical clip that ridiculed Zirkzee’s positioning on the field. In the video, one of the creators impersonated the Dutchman, humorously portraying him as unable to stick to his No. 9 role.
Zirkzee, rather than responding negatively, embraced the light-hearted jab by liking the post. This simple action won over the fans who appreciated his ability to handle criticism with humour.
