Replies like this is hilarious. Zirkzee was signed as a striker. 9 goals in 80 games is abysmal. He gets chances but rarely takes them, whereas Sesko has despite his injuries. At 6’4, he barely wins duels or gets into dangerous positions. Makes the hard look easy and the easy look hard.
Plenty at United deserve criticism, but nobody gets more grace for showing so little than Zirkzee. A few flicks and dribbles excuse everything. Berbatov had similar flair, but his IQ and movement produced goals. Zirkzee wouldn’t start for any top side in Europe. At some point, we need to stop confusing aesthetics with actual quality.
