Joshua Zirkzee remains central to Manchester United project
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has reaffirmed his support for striker Joshua Zirkzee, despite recent transfer speculation. Carrick described the 25-year-old Dutch forward as an important part of the squad's depth and expressed strong belief in his ability to perform at a high level.
Zirkzee's future at Old Trafford became a subject of interest following links to Italian clubs Juventus and Fiorentina. Additionally, Manchester United reportedly blocked a late attempt by Everton to secure the player on Deadline Day, citing timing issues.
While Zirkzee faces competition for starting positions following the arrivals of Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, Carrick noted that the player remains happy at the club and maintains a good relationship with the management.
