BREAKING NEWS: Musiala of Bayern Munich teases a move towards Manchester United following the persuasion of former teammates.

As Manchester United triumphed over Fulham at a packed Old Trafford, Joshua Zirkzee made a remarkable debut that fans will long remember. In the closing moments of the Premier League opener, excitement among the Manchester United supporters reached a fever pitch.

The game was heading for a draw until the introduction of Joshua Zirkzee, who turned the tide by scoring the winning goal after Alejandro Garnacho delivered a perfect cross. Zirkzee’s strike in the 87th minute not only secured the victory but also earned him a spot among the select group of players who have scored on their Manchester United debut, instantly making him a fan favorite.

Zirkzee, who joined United from Bologna over the summer for £36 million, couldn’t have asked for a better start to his career at the club. His volley was not just crucial for the team but also eased the pressure on Rasmus Højlund, who had endured a lengthy wait for a Premier League goal last season. Zirkzee’s composure and skill in the final third drew comparisons to Dimitar Berbatov from the United faithful.

Reflecting on his debut, Zirkzee revealed that Erik ten Hag had instructed him to “bring energy” when he came on, a directive he more than fulfilled. After the match, Zirkzee took to Instagram to express his gratitude for the warm reception at Old Trafford, posting, “Great start! 💪🏾⚽️🙏🏾 Thanks are in order!”

Among the many congratulatory messages he received was one from his former Bayern Munich teammate, Jamal Musiala, who had recently vacationed with him. Musiala responded to Zirkzee’s post with two fire emojis, underscoring their close bond. Recently, Zirkzee had even mentioned that he had asked Musiala about the prospect of joining him at Old Trafford.

With Zirkzee’s crucial goal, Manchester United is gaining momentum as they look ahead to their next match against Brighton, set to be played away from home. Despite missing the preseason tour and starting on the bench, Zirkzee has positioned himself as a strong candidate to start in the upcomin⊕g fixture.
