Joshua Orobosa Zirkzee
Joshua Orobosa Zirkzee attacks space and times his runs, dropping deep to link play and then sprinting beyond the line for Manchester United. Zirkzee feeds the attack with smart passes. He broke through at Bayern München in 2019, scoring on Bundesliga debut. A season on loan at Anderlecht in 2021–22 made him the club's top scorer with 16 goals and 9 assists, a turning point. In 2023–24 Bologna led to first Champions League qualification and he earned the Serie A Best Under-23 Player award. Zirkzee joined Manchester United in 2024 and earned his first Netherlands cap in 2024, then scored on a Premier League debut. His role as a false 9 or SS helps United press high and create overloads. He finishes moves by attacking the back post and gets shots off quickly.
