Jamal Musiala’s High Praise for Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee After International Break Performance
Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee has made headlines during the international break with a standout performance for the Netherlands, becoming only the fourth Dutch player to score and assist on his debut for the national team.
The 5-2 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina showcased Zirkzee’s all-around capabilities, drawing significant praise from the Dutch press and his teammates.
Among the most notable reactions was a four-word message from Jamal Musiala, who commended Zirkzee as a “2 way shot creator.” Musiala, who has shared time with Zirkzee at Bayern Munich, clearly respects the Dutch forward’s abilities.
Zirkzee responded positively to Musiala’s comment, reflecting the mutual admiration between the two players.
Despite a promising start at Manchester United, including a memorable winner at the Stretford End, Zirkzee has faced challenges in adapting to the Premier League’s pace.
His performance against Liverpool was particularly tough, highlighting some of the difficulties he’s experienced in balancing the expectations of a goal-scorer with his natural strengths in playmaking and linking up attacks.
As Zirkzee continues to develop, especially with Rasmus Hojlund’s anticipated return to the team, there’s hope that his form with the Netherlands will translate into consistent performances for Manchester United. For now, Zirkzee’s international success offers a glimpse of his potential and a positive sign for his future at Old Trafford.
