Joshua Zirkzee responded brilliantly after a heated moment with his manager during Manchester United’s match against Everton, scoring a crucial goal to help his team lead.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for United, and Zirkzee followed up with a goal of his own. This was a significant moment for the young Dutch player, as it marked his first goal for the team since their season opener against Fulham.
Zirkzee has faced challenges since joining Manchester United, so scoring today was a relief for him. His goal came after Amorim had reportedly yelled at him for not pressing hard enough earlier in the match.
According to Samuel Luckhurst from the Manchester Evening News, Amorim was more animated than in previous games. He was particularly vocal with Zirkzee, who was criticized for being out of position. Other players, including Casemiro and De Ligt, also received some tough love from the manager.
Despite the pressure, Zirkzee managed to make a significant impact on the game. His goal not only helped the team but also showed that he could respond positively to criticism.
Zirkzee joined Manchester United from Bologna in the summer, but there have been whispers about his future with the club. Juventus and his former team, Bologna, are reportedly keeping an eye on him as January approaches. However, Zirkzee seems eager to prove himself at United.
Fans are hopeful that Amorim’s arrival as manager will help Zirkzee develop further. There is a sense that he is starting to find his footing, but supporters will want to see more consistent performances from him.
As the season progresses, there may be discussions about strengthening the forward line, especially with players like Rasmus Hojlund also under scrutiny. For now, Zirkzee’s goal against Everton could be the turning point he needs to kick-start his season.
