“He can’t even control the ball” and should NEVER have been brought to Old Trafford!” – Agbohlahor slams dud Ten Hag summer signing; Man Utd want him gone in January. According to sources, United’s hierarchy is FURIOUS with the player’s poor performances and already has plans to offload him just months after his arrival. Fans have been calling him the “WORST signing in years,” and even Ten Hag is reportedly REGRETTING the decision to bring him in. 😨
In a recent segment on talkSPORT, former footballer and pundit Gabby Agbonlahor expressed doubts regarding Joshua Zirkzee’s recent performances, casting uncertainty over his future impact at Manchester United as they prepare for a key Europa League match against Fenerbahce. Agbonlahor voiced concerns about whether the young forward, who joined United from Bologna for £35 million in July, can meet the high expectations set for him this season.
Since scoring in his Premier League debut against Fulham, Zirkzee has struggled to maintain his form, going scoreless in his subsequent 10 appearances. Despite receiving limited starts under Erik ten Hag, his inconsistency has become a talking point among fans and analysts alike.
Agbonlahor, known for his direct commentary, critiqued Zirkzee’s recent efforts, remarking that while the player has potential, his recent performances have been disappointing. “Everyone says Zirkzee is a great talent, but he’s been unable to show basic control on the pitch,” Agbonlahor commented. He acknowledged that the striker still has time to improve but pointed out that Zirkzee’s lack of consistency is concerning.
This criticism adds to growing worries about Zirkzee’s adaptability to the physical demands of the Premier League. Struggling with his touch and involvement during critical plays, Zirkzee is yet to deliver on the promise of his £35 million transfer. The pressure from fans, pundits, and within the club itself continues to mount.
Rumors are now circulating about a possible January loan move for Zirkzee, as Italian journalist Carlo Pellegatti reports potential interest from AC Milan. With Manchester United seeking reliable attacking options, a loan could give Zirkzee more consistent playing time and an opportunity to rediscover his form.
Zirkzee also faces fierce competition within the squad, particularly from Danish striker Rasmus Højlund, who had a stellar previous season with 16 goals. Højlund’s return to full fitness adds pressure on Zirkzee, as Højlund reclaims his role in United’s attack.
As the season unfolds, Zirkzee has only a limited window to convince Ten Hag and United supporters of his value. If he can’t step up, a return to Italy might be the best option. Agbonlahor’s critique highlights the demanding nature of Premier League football, especially for young talents like Zirkzee. Whether he can prove himself or heads for a loan spell remains uncertain, but it’s clear he faces significan
t pressure.
