Joshua Zirkzee’s recent £36.5 million transfer to Manchester United from Bologna has taken an interesting twist. During his holiday in Los Angeles, he was seen with Bayern Munich’s rising star Jamal Musiala, sparking speculation that Manchester United may have an advantage in any future attempts to sign Musiala.
Musiala, a highly-rated young player with 34 caps for the German national team, is an essential part of Bayern Munich, having scored 43 goals and provided 31 assists in 163 appearances. His contract at Bayern has only two years remaining, and Manchester City has shown interest in the 21-year-old.
Meanwhile, Zirkzee, who joined United this summer, is expected to provide competition for Rasmus Hojlund but is not currently on United’s US tour. Instead, he has been spotted in LA with Musiala, a connection that fans speculate could influence Musiala’s potential transfer to United.
This connection has fueled rumors, especially after Musiala posted a photo on Instagram with Zirkzee, captioned “Back to back.” While United’s current negotiations with Bayern are focused on Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt, Zirkzee’s friendship with Musiala could play a pivotal role if United decides to pursue the young playmaker.!
