UNITED signing Joshua Zirkzee has described himself as 'creative, good with the ball and unpredictable! United completed the signing of from Bologna for Zirkzee EUR42.5million last Sunday and the forward signed a five-year contract, with includes the option of another year.
Bologna defied the odds to finish in the Italian top four last term.
They enjoyed their best season since 1967/1968 and Zirkzee started 32 out of a possible 38 league games.
Zirkzee contributed 11 goals and five assists in those appearances and finished the campaign as Bologna's top goalscorer, which caught United's attention.
The 23-year-old will compete with Rasmus Hojlund to start for United in the new season, but as a versatile talent, it's also thought he can play across the attacking front line.
Zirkzee sat down with club media as part of his unveiling and his interview, which covered his transfer to the club and what he will bring, was released on Wednesday afternoon.
"It's been a rollercoaster the past, the past few weeks. But, Yeah, some very good experiences. And I'm very happy to be here," a laidback Zirkzee told MUTV.
