I'll happily argue with anyone on this here forum that Wout Weghorst was a better player than Joshua Zirkzee.
 
Thought he was just about okay in the 2nd half with a few flick ons. In the first half though he played like a player who doesnt care if he doesnt get to touch the ball anytime soon. Just a lack of effort and participation
 
Great we need a backup striker on top of the million other needs, this guy looks totally checked out
 
Has striker instinct, like my friend's poodle survival instinct.
 
There is nothing worth saying about him. Put him up for sale and sell to the highest bidder
 
How can you not play for so long and give that kind of effort. Absolutely zero intensity.
 
Hopefully that's that for his United career... Just not cut out for this league, or a big club.
 
A shit player who has been consistently shit, knows he is surplus to requirements, plays shit. Go figure.
 
Far too cool to try is the vibes he puts out. Guy thinks hes akin to Cantona where he can do his own nonchalant thing
 
He's shite. Shouldn't play another minute for us tbh. He'd look good if football was played at 0.25 speed.

Would rather we just stick Cunha or Mbeumo up top for the last few games if Sesko isn't available.
 
He's not a PL forward. You either need to be fast to run the channels constantly or strong to win your duels. He can't do either in this league. He should be moved on for his sake and ours. We have to be realistic here.
 
This transfer should be investigated

Zirkzee plays in slow motion and someone thought it was a good fit for fastest league in the world? Ten Hag signings fecked us so bad.
 
Doesn’t look like he wants to be a footballer to me, he should get a job at Aldi or something and just amble around the aisle with his Beats on.
 
Utterly useless as a PL striker. Get rid asap. Minutes for Obi-Wan Chidobi would be a better option at this stage. Hopefully, some Italain side rates him still and United get something back for him.
 
Lake Como, Milan, Atalanta, Sassoulo. Someone. Anyone.
 
Waste of space. I just hope someone is daft enough to pay to take him off our hands.
 
Absolute shite.

Looks unfit, looks overweight even.

Another terrible ETH signing. Hopefully that's his last game for Utd.
 
Was faking it out there today. He knew he was bad, but kept berating others (who were all equally bad) for not making runs to collect his ‘magical’ layoffs.

I’ll be okay releasing him this season. Mbuemo and Cunha can play as Sesko’s replacements if we can’t get some in.
 
Who in the right mind will take him from us?
Hojlund scored a few last season but often looked wretched (Chido's movement was genuinely better when he came on to replace him, and this was a raw 17 year old). Napoli still agreed to a 44m obligation-to-buy. Zirkzee won YPOY in Italy before coming here - there will be takers to cover his book-value ( hell, even Napoli might do it to replace Lukaku as the 'off the bench' option, although they're different kinds of forwards, given how ex-United players do in Serie A). Milan have apparently been interested before, Juve too.
 
Typical horrendous Zirkzee shit performance. fecking shit for 50 mins, decent for 5 mins. He couldn’t control a football for that whole first half.

Overall, terrible. Slow, lethargic, low energy, uninterested. His bottom level is so fecking stinky. Sell him at a loss, feck it. Would rather Kai Rooney at this point.

Even at 0.25x he wouldn’t. His problem today wasn’t just that he was slow to meet the ball, whenever he did get the ball he either laid it on too short or behind the player. You could slow it down to 0.1x and he’d still have been naff with it.

Not one more minute for him in a United Jersey please.
 
He has no place at a club that intends to win trophies. He isn't good enough for the PL at all.
 
Yeah, I mean, that was an awful performance. Playing like someone who knows he’s off.

If we’re looking for a sale, maybe he’ll still get minutes in the last two games.
 
There's no point. Needs to leave for everyone's sake, just another terrible transfer.
 
Surely he goes in the summer. Replace him with someone from the academy and we aren’t any worse off.

When has he ever played well?

If you know you are off, and you have a rare start, wouldn’t you want to put yourself in the shop window?

It’s not as if many clubs are going to be interested in him.
