Hasn’t it already been confirmed like a month ago that Rasmus is getting the number 9. I‘m sure I’ve read or seen a post by Rasmus that he is the new 9 somewhere.
Give Rashford his #19 back, Hojlund #9 and Zirkzee #10.

The whole posting style screams trying much, much too hard. Like a kid trying to act condescending to a room full of adults.Then you don’t really have an excuse for such ignorance. Ouch.
Reporter - "How do you feel about joining United?"Sorry to be pedantic but if he literally couldn’t wait, he’d offer to join the tour. Which I doubt he will. I’d just say he’s “excited”

Pedantic squared, but he can be a Manchester United player and not be on the tour.Reporter - "How do you feel about joining United?"
Zirkzee - "Yes. I can't wait!"
Reporter - "So we will see you on tour then?"
Zirkzee - "No..."

Sorry, cannot see this at all. Are we stronger at the back? Better in midfield? Better upfront? Are the players coming in, an improvement to what we have?
What is the transfer strategy, to buy an(other) attacking midfielder, er like Bruno and Mason Mount?
New season starts in four weeks. I'm not quite sure what our plans are. We need a top, top quality centre-half, that I do know. Can we get Braithwaite in... hopefully, but we shouldn't overpay for him.
Manager can also say he doesn’t want him there and it is a preference of the club to be rested.Pedantic squared, but he can be a Manchester United player and not be on the tour.

Ahh!! Touché!Pedantic squared, but he can be a Manchester United player and not be on the tour.
Why are some surprised if a tall man has got good balance or if a big man is quick??A ton of information in here I hadn't realised about Zirkzee. We'll now actually have someone who can help press from the front and has good hold up and some extra creativity!!

Usain Bolt isn't exactly a midget!

As he ever played on the wing?
Wasn’t saying we should do it. I was just wondering if needed could he cover there. Will he ever be able to play together with Højlund. I don’t want Hojlunds development to stop by not playing regular games. And I get we’ll be rotating and competitions healthy.Not much and would be pointless to discuss as he is signed to be a centre forward.
We already have for the wings, Rashford, Garnacho, Amad, Antony and Sancho (if he stays).
Zirkzee is 6'4, can't be wasting his aerial threat by playing on the wing.
Heading in his weakness. He is very bad at it.Zirkzee is 6'4, can't be wasting his aerial threat by playing on the wing.
What attacking midfielder are you talking about? We are barely 2 weeks into July, have already bought an exciting striker with a very different profil than the one we have. We are appearantly very far with the transfer of the top quality center-half we need and still in negotiations with an other young promising CB. A lot of smoke on the transfer of a very good midfield-destroyer as well.
I think the early signs of the window are quite positive. I like our targets and I am confident that we will be able to get 4 or 5 good players in positions we really need in.
No, he plays like a deep lying forward willing to drop deep and provide passes for his wide attackers. That's completely different.Hold on. I'm questioning what our strategy is OK... Zirkzee seems like a player who plays off a centre-forward,like Bruno and Mount, so there's a reasonable question as to where he will play.
I don’t deny it. Nor blame the player. Just making a small point about the wordingHis Euro 24 only finished 2 days ago, he needs to be given time to go on a break with his familly and gets some rest for a couple of weeks before we can even consider bringing him in to the pre-season squad.
I haven't come across anything like that.
I don’t think I’ve made this up, I have a memory of reading something or seeing a picture that was something to do with him being given the number 9 once Martial had left.Not seen that… he’s 9 for Denmark?
Can't be worse than Weghorst.Heading in his weakness. He is very bad at it.
Will all be Double DutchWill it be a double announcement with De Ligt?
Why would it be? By the end of the season he'd lost his starting spot.Harsh on Rasmus if this guy gets no 9
As he ever played on the wing?
I somehow doubt that denying people a vacation after a long season is a great recipe for not starting the season slow.He has to go on tour? (has the tour squad been announced yet) the bloke played less than a minute at the Euros and I know he still had to travel and train with the national squad but come on!
United need to be weary of starting the season slow again.
At what time are we guessing this is going to get announce tomorrow? I say 2pm UK time

Zirkzee played as a lone forward last year, which was appearantly the best season of his career. So this is where we should expect him to play. As a kind of false 9, which makes sense for us. EtH likes to have this option, it gives us more tactical flexibility and should suit the likes of Rashford, Garnacho or Mount quite well, who would like to run in behind the space opened by a false nine. He is a developing player for a reasonable price. I like this approach. We have so many holes in our squad, I am alright with having 2 great prospects as center forwards for the coming years, as we are (once again, but hopefully for real this time) obviously in a transition period.Hold on. I'm questioning what our strategy is OK... Zirkzee seems like a player who plays off a centre-forward,like Bruno and Mount, so there's a reasonable question as to where he will play.
I mentioned the Braithwaite deal, and we will have to see. But we need a centre forward. Have you been watching Rasmus.. he's diligent, great attitude.. but is he now, the first-choice centre forward for Manchester United? If so, that's our 'strategy' ?
We haven't replaced Antony... Casimiro remains... are we relying on Rashford and it seems Sancho once again? How strategic is that?
Not sure how our strategy is to address these outstanding issues. I fully appreciate the close season affected by Copa/Euros.. and I also understand the crazy wages these players are on.. but I'm still not quite clear what the INEOS on-field strategy is.

Sorry to be pedantic but he literally can still feel that way because resting is equally important in preparation for a long season. Yes he didn’t play any games apart from a minute in the end but the very act of training rigorously up until 2 days ago is a load he must manage with rest.Sorry to be pedantic but if he literally couldn’t wait, he’d offer to join the tour. Which I doubt he will. I’d just say he’s “excited”
That’s terrible man management. He just played from August to June, which is almost 11 months of football. But yeah let’s throw back in the thick of things with full on training and preseason games.He has to go on tour?

You do know preseason is rigorous training right? You have one month to get in full shape and get your stamina back. This isnt just a “few minutes of light training”. You can’t play in preseason games without training properly.Hmmm what's "full on training and preseason games" to some could be "light training and getting some minutes with your new team mates in the US tour games" to others.
Depends how you want to dress it up really.
