After entering the summer window, Manchester United's actions were not slow compared to many big clubs: previously, their goal was to clear the redundancy of the team, they found a home for youngsters Alvaro and Folsen, and Van de Beek, who was not given a chance under Ten Hag, was also sent away by Manchester United and sent to Girona for 500,000 euros - after leaving Old Trafford, Van de Beek became the first Red Devil to play in the Champions League this season......
Of course, relying on Manchester United's signboard, Manchester United still has the capital to attract players. Previously, relying on the magical performance of leading the team to the Champions League zone last season, the teenager Zirkze has attracted the attention of many teams, including Manchester United, AC Milan, Arsenal and Juventus have a strong interest in the player, considering that the player is carrying a release clause of 40 million euros, Bologna wants to keep the player to impact the Champions League next year, and there is no theoretical possibility.
In the end, in the battle for the players, Manchester United had the last laugh. According to Fabrizio Romano, Zilkze will join Manchester United this summer, with the Red Devils paying a transfer fee of €42.5 million over three years, and United will sign Zilkze to a contract until 2029, with an option to extend for one year.
On the books, Manchester United's transfer may be a bit of a loss, after all, the price of 42.5 million euros is even higher than the player's release price, but in Zirkze's transfer, Bayern took 50% of the second transfer, Bologna is bound not to easily lower its requirements, with the annual amortization amount, to meet Bologna's demand for high offers, in order to overpower other competitors, Manchester United's operation is actually very beautiful.
The real loss point may lie in the player's agent commission, Zirkze's agent is the notorious Horabchin, who has not been less open in commission fees before, and the Red Devils have to pay 15 million euros in commissions this time to join Manchester United.
After the acquisition of Zirkze, Manchester United's operation is not over, they will also be pulling Bayern central defender De Ligt with the Southern King, and Paris midfielder Ugarte is the next target of the Red Devils - considering that Casemiro is likely to be out of the favor of Saudi tycoons, Manchester United wants to make a difference in the transfer market, Sir Ratcliffe is not going to bleed.
Of course, this past season, Zirkze has proven that he is worth that much money. He came through the Bayern academy and people in Bavaria say he has a problem with his attitude, but he does get the winning goal out of the game. After joining Bologna, Zirkze was able to contribute 12 goals and six assists in his second season.
Under Motta, Zirkze has plenty of freedom, with Bologna's midfield splitting the midfield in numerous rectangles and allowing Zirkze to appear in every zone to show the numerical advantage of players in a single area. With his strong ability to handle the ball and excellent footwork, Zirkze can allow players to attack with passes and cuts, and can also deflect to the weak side to avoid being pressed.
In a way, United are not a central striker, but a pitch commander in a forward position. Manchester United have stockpiled a lot of players in the centre-forward position this season, and Zirkze and his team-mates will have to fight it out for a starting spot.
