Joshua Zirkzee, Manchester United’s new signing, has sparked excitement among fans with his comment about potentially signing Jamal Musiala. Zirkzee and Musiala were teammates at Bayern Munich before Zirkzee moved to Bologna. In a recent interaction with a Man Utd fan on social media, Zirkzee revealed that he had tried to persuade Musiala to join the Red Devils.
This revelation has fueled speculation about Musiala’s future, as he is considered a key player for Bayern Munich. Additionally, Musiala’s impressive performances for Germany at the European Championship, where he scored two goals before their quarter-final defeat to Spain, have attracted interest from other clubs, including Manchester City.
It is worth noting that Zirkzee’s attempt to convince Musiala to join Manchester United occurred after a match between England and the Netherlands in the Euros. Fans noticed Zirkzee and his friend Kobbie Mainoo having a conversation and embracing at the end of the game. Zirkzee later disclosed that Mainoo had asked him if he was coming to Manchester United, to which Zirkzee replied, “See you soon after the final.”
While Zirkzee’s efforts to bring Musiala to Old Trafford may not have been successful, his gesture indicates that there is interest within the Manchester United camp to strengthen their squad. With the recent arrival of Zirkzee himself in a £34 million deal from Serie A, the club is clearly looking to make significant signings this summer.
Manchester United’s pursuit of Musiala comes at a time when they are actively involved in the transfer market. Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe is reportedly closing in on a £34 million move to Fulham, while the Gunners have secured the transfer of Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. However, Brentford’s plans to sell Ivan Toney have been affected by Igor Thiago’s knee injury, leaving the club uncertain about the potential transfer.
In addition to Manchester United’s interest, Chelsea has reportedly agreed to sign goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen from Villarreal, with a medical examination imminent. Meanwhile, Julian Alvarez has hinted at his future with Manchester City, adding to the intrigue surrounding potential transfers in the Premier League.
As the transfer window progresses, fans will eagerly follow the latest deals, gossip, and exclusives. The Sun’s transfer experts provide regular updates, ensuring that football enthusiasts stay informed throughout the summer. While the outcome of Manchester United’s pursuit of Jamal Musiala remains uncertain, Zirkzee’s attempt to persuade his former teammate demonstrates the club’s ambition to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level.
