I hope we cut our loses quickly if he doesn't massively improve then move him by the summer no more keeping underwhelming players for years.
 
Don't rate him at all. Hope he proves me wrong but he has absolutely nothing that I'd consider good enough. Baffling signing. Still early days but I'm not sure this will work out even in the slightest
Yea I'm not seeing it with him either but it's still super early days. He deserves a chance under Amorim where we hopefully will have some actual tactics implemented and then we will see what Zirkzee is made of.

I have an Italian, non Bologna supporting colleague who told me that he thinks Zirkzee is a fantastic signing for us. Make of that what you want.
 
He seems like a strange signing by INEOS, not an obvious fit for the team or the premier league. I get that he was relatively cheap and young and supposedly the best young player in Italy, but what did they see in him that would make him a success in England?
 
Man Utd 1:1 Chelsea New
He's such a shit player. Good at absolutely nothing. I hope he doesn't get a single minute under Amorim.
 
Fans seemed to get on his back after he was out muscled.
 
One decent header and almost got to Garnacho's ball. He was shite for the rest of that cameo. So weak. None of our strikers are good enough.
 
Makes Antony look like a great signing. What the feck were they watching before signing him? He just looks like a long way off physically more than anything else. Just literally not able to play at this level.
 
He seems as slow as Weghorst, minus the strength and workrate.

He looks like he played at an amatuer level before we signed him. He waits for every ball to arrive at his feet and for a big lad he has zero strength to hold off the defender. He isn't going to make it here unless he seriously improves
 
I hope to all hope this is a last gift from ten Hag and not, as I was told over summer, a genius INEOS signing.

He has none of the basic attributes you need to play up top in England. That should have rung alarm bells.
 
Seems to have no athleticism whatsoever. I reckon Harry Maguire would beat him in a foot race.
 
If that was Solskjaer our fourth choice striker back in the day, he runs through and 9 times out of 10, he scores. This lad is 2nd choice and is just slow, weak and sloppy. The money spent on this squad just amazes me
 
He's genuinely one of the worst footballers I've ever seen play for us.

In fact, never mind for us, just in the Premier League in general.
 
He lacks intensity and pace. Lets hope Ruben is a magician.
I think he could be good in the role just behind the striker in Amorims system
 
He is shockingly bad. No balance, no pace, no awareness and no work ethic. Who has scouted him.
 
He's like a dog trying to survive in a jungle, just completely out of his depth and it's not his fault. Our scouts need sacking, and it's not the first time. Serious questions need to be asked by INEOS about our recruitment.
 
I want to know who made the decision to buy him. That person should be immediately fired if he has not already been.
 
He started out promising after his first few starts but wow… he looks like a player in very low confidence since then.

Since his two misses in the Liverpool game, he hasn’t recovered.

The neat link up play, the deft touches, all has deserted him. Looks atrocious starting or coming off the bench.

Hopefully Amorim can work with him.
 
It’s a bit worrying just how far off it he looks. That goal on his debut might as well have never happened. So slow and labored in everything he does.

A story as old as time, Dan James, Antony, every other player we've signed in recent years in forward positions. We just need to clear out of these players fast.
 
I suspect he will be loaned out in January and sold off for a big discount in the summer , just not suited at all to the pace of the premier league. Not his fault. Another atrocious scouting failure .
