Carrick makes his feelings clear on Joshua Zirkzee ahead of January window – report
Story updated
The story in brief
34-second readManchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee caught the eye with his brief cameo against Tottenham Hotspur in the 1-1 draw on Saturday at Old Trafford. The Dutch striker is yet to start a game this season and has struggled for game time since Michael Carrick took charge in January.
The English manager has deployed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in the No. 9 role in the absence of Benjamin Sesko, rather than turning to Zirkzee.
The Dutchman, meanwhile, had an impressive outing with the Oranje during the international break, but it was not enough to convince Carrick. With the Slovenian absent due to injury for Saturday’s game against Tottenham Hotspur, the English manager deployed Mbeumo through the middle, with Amad occupying the right-forward role.
