Zirkze believes hard times make him stronger.
Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkze believes the tough times he has endured have made him stronger. The Netherlands forward has been criticised for his performances. Scoring just once in Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Fulham. But has struggled to replicate his fine form since.
This has led to rumors of a transfer, with Italian media continuing to speculate about a return to Serie A, with Juventus showing interest UFABET
But in the latest game, Zirkze just scored two goals to lead the Red Devils to a 4-0 home win over Everton. Including his personal performance that looked good in both attacking the opposing defense and coordinating with others.
“Tough times make people stronger. Strong people get through it. I think that’s what’s happening now.” the 23-year-old forward said.
“I felt good about my role against Everton. Scoring gives the strikers confidence. But we all went into the game with the confidence that we can win the game.”
Zirkzee scored the winner in United’s season opener against Fulham. But failed to register another goal under Erik ten Hag, who paid the price for the club’s poor start to the campaign in late October.
Ruben Amorim was swiftly named successor and Zirkzee marked his first start under the Portuguese head coach. With a brace in Sunday’s impressive 4-0 win against Everton at Old Trafford.
