MU transfer: After Manchester United successfully recruited striker Joshua Zirkzee, coach Erik ten Hag is expected to give the legendary shirt number to the Dutch striker.

TRANSFER: Joshua Zirkzee OFFICIALLY joined Man Utd and is getting very close to moving to Old Trafford in this summer transfer window

According to information from reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee has reached a personal agreement with Manchester United and is very close to moving to Old Trafford in this summer transfer window.

After a disappointing season of only finishing 8th in the Premier League, the “Red Devils” are showing their determination to come back strongly next season. The addition of new personnel in the leadership apparatus is expected to pave the way for positive activities in the transfer market.

Fabrizio Romano revealed on Twitter that Man Utd has reached a personal agreement with Zirkzee and is negotiating with Bologna about the deal structure. If an agreement cannot be reached, Man Utd can activate the contract release clause worth 40 million euros.

According to The Mirror, Zirkzee will be given the legendary number 9 shirt, previously belonging to Anthony Martial, by coach Ten Hag as soon as the transfer procedures are completed. This is considered the favorite shirt number of the 23-year-old striker, who had a sublime season in Serie A with 11 goals, contributing to bringing Bologna back to the Champions League after nearly 60 years.
