The forward will spend his first week building up his fitness before finally acquainting himself with his new team-mates when they return from the United States next week.
The £36.5m signing could make his debut against City in the Community Shield and it will be fascinating to see how he is used.
He is primarily a striker and if Rasmus Hojlund's injury rules him out then Zirkzee is a natural replacement for the Dane.
Erik ten Hag has talked up how the 23-year-old offers something different in the front line. He has built a United attack focused on the running in behind.
Hojlund, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho are all at their best when they do that and it is a team built to play on the break.
