Here is a roundup of the top Manchester United news and gossip that we think you guys could have missed today –
Manchester United have announced the signing of Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna – and he is delighted with the move.
United have agreed to bring the young striker to the Premier League in a deal that will cost around £32 million after a very impressive season with Italian side Bologna earned the forward 12 goals.
And Zirkzee, part of the Netherlands squad who reached the Euro 2024 semi-finals, hopes he can have a similarly transformative effect at Old Trafford when he works under compatriot Erik ten Hag.
‘I am a player who has always dedicated everything to winning; I’m ready for this next challenge, to go to another level in my career and win more trophies,’ the 23-year-old said.
‘Having had discussions with the manager and the leaders of the club I know how exciting the future is going to be here and I cannot wait to play my part in achieving success for Manchester United.
‘It is a privilege to join such an iconic club. I have to take a short break now after being with the national team, but I’ll be coming back ready to make an impact straight away.’
Dan Ashworth, Manchester United’s sporting director, added: “Securing a forward to enhance our already strong group of attacking players was a key aim for this summer.
‘We are delighted that we’ve managed to sign a player of Joshua’s calibre this early in the transfer window.
‘Joshua is an outstanding talent who is ready to make an impact for Manchester United. His ability and desire to grow into a world-class player means that he will be a great addition to the squad that we are building for the exciting season ahead and beyond.
‘Having already achieved a significant amount in his career, we will provide Joshua with the perfect platform to reach the next level under the guidance and support of Erik ten Hag and the coaching staff. We look forward to seeing Joshua thrive at Old Trafford over the coming years.’
ERIKSEN TO LEAVE?
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has given the green light to sell Christian Eriksen this summer transfer window
After making a stunning return to football back a few seasons ago with Brentford – Eriksen showed the world that he is still able to compete at the very highest level and create the chances that got him a move to Inter Milan
Manchester United made the decision to bring him to Old Trafford in hope that Eriksen still had that ability to create goals on a regular basis – just like he managed during his time with Tottenham sitting behind Harry Kane.
However – reports from the Mirror suggest the Red Devils will listen to reasonable offers for the 32-year-old, who remains frustrated with his number of minutes on the pitch as a Manchester United player
Ten Hag knows that he needs to freshen up his squad over the next few months in order to get this Man United side competing for that Premier League title and selling the fringe stars in now on the agenda.

There is no doubt that Eriksen is a brilliant player – but his time at the top of the game is done and allowing him to leave to make space for a more hungrier player is the right decision to make.
We are sure that there will be a few offers for Eriksen to take – we are sure that he is will ok with the news that he is no longer needed at the club – and we are sure that Ten Hag already has a replacement in mind.
When Eriksen does leave – Manchester United fans will surely wish him the best of luck.
IVAN TONEY WANTS MOVE –
Ivan Toney’s agent has informed Brentford that the England striker is keen to join Manchester United after Euro 2024, according to reports.
There was alot of speculation in the January window that Ivan Toney was a player that Erik Ten Hag wanted to be signed for Manchester United as he wanted to add some more goals to his struggling attack.
However – despite all the speculation and all the rumours – the Financial Fair Plays rules keeping all the Premier League clubs on their toes – there was not too much business this January transfer window, which frustrated alot of fans.
Toney is a player that has been linked with a move away from Brentford all season – despite the fact that he has only just returned from time away from the game – but it seems that there will be a chance to get a deal done in the summer after Brentford reportedly decided they will cash in on the big man.
The Athletic have claimed that the Bees would be willing to accept a bid worth £40m for the striker.
Now – According to BILD, Toney wants to join the Red Devils this summer and his agent has already informed Brentford of his desire to leave.
Amid all the speculation reporter Iomie Stanley has claimed that he could be a perfect addition to that United side.
He said: “You know he’s going to score on a regular, he lives for the headlines. He’s got an unerring confidence and unwavering confidence that most footballers have, but his is more like steely determination mixed with arrogance.
‘ He’ll only get bigger, better and stronger in the coming seasons now that he is back to playing football and making an impact for Brentford
‘They are in in dire need of adding a striker to that attack like Ivan Toney – they are missing that game-winning striker that can score goals on a weekly basis.
‘Toney suits the style of Manchester United – and if he moves there – he will score goals.’
