Fans criticize Zirkzee

Zirkzee shared a post on social media that angered many fans.

@AmorimChapter:

“Zirkzee is not a Striker, Amorim has to find a way for runners like Garnacho and Rashford to be fed through him for it to work.”

“Currently United’s setup attacks mainly through their wing, both wingers stay very wide and that’s why Zirkzee has problems in this setup.”

@MUFC_Ztr:

“He’s the most shameless guy who ever lived.”

@tomiobanure:

“Zirkzee is a substitute striker, he doesn’t believe in goals.”

@Adam_655:

“I hope he can turn things around but it doesn’t really look good enough for us but it’s still early days.”

@riqueza_united_:

Zirkzee is simply the worst ever. “I can’t pass, I can’t dribble, I can’t shoot, I’m lazy, slow, weak, I lose the ball all the time, I can’t head the ball despite having the build of an NBA player.”

Is Zirkzee returning to Serie A?
