sunlit1688 Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has defended striker Joshua Zirkze, saying he is not a fridge with boots on wheels with former striker Romelu Lukaku because the Dutchman from his hometown has many benefits for his teammates, even though Rasmus Hojlund has recovered from injury and will have to wait for an opportunity. sunlit1688
Serkse is not the first signing that comes to mind for the Red Army fans, having arrived from Bologna, who last season played solidly in defence to counter-attack, unlike the Red Devils, who needed a striker who could play well against opposition teams and block the goal. ( sunlit1688 )
He scored a single goal on his debut as a substitute in a 1-0 win over Fulham, but after that he was a clean sheet with no goals or assists, despite almost all of them being starters, leading to netizens teasing him as a ‘mini fridge’ worth £36.6m that saves on goals.
Being insulted like this makes Ten Hag very angry. He told the new kid to give him time to adjust.
“Of course all our forwards are key players but Joshua Zirkze has done very well,” the Dutchman said after the game at Old Trafford.
“He created a really good chance, got a nice shot and the opposition goalkeeper made a really good save.”
“Of course we are pleased that Rasmus Hojlund is back. He is now working hard to get fit, to get up to speed, and he can score goals. Everyone knows that.”
“He is someone who plays very well in the penalty area.”
Serkse will face a tough challenge in the next three games before the October international break, with all three of them coming at home to Spurs , away to Porto in the Europa League or away to Aston Villa.
