Joshua Zirkzee reveals Manchester United transfer plan after secret Jamal Musiala talks

New signing Joshua Zirkzee and Bayern Munich sensation Jamal Musiala were spotted on holiday together in LA and the Man Utd man was asked about that upon his return.

Joshua Zirkzee says he's 'already tried' to get Jamal Musiala to sign for Manchester United this summer. Zirkzee and Musiala - who were Bayern Munich teammates previously - created a storm on various social media platforms when they were spotted together on holiday in Los Angeles.

New signing Zirkzee, 23, spent five seasons at the Allianz Arena between 2017 and 2022, when he joined Bologna - and that spell in Italy provided the platform for his dream move to Old Trafford. He was signed by Ineos to provide cover and competition for Rasmus Hojlund in attacking quarters.

However, it appears the Dutchman might as well add football agent to his CV. Zirkzee - who was omitted from United's pre-season tour to the United States due to his involvement at Euro 2024 - found himself close to his new teammates anyway when he headed to California for a break.

One picture uploaded alongside Musiala was enough to get people talking on Instagram. Zirkzee was then asked about it by an inquisitive United supporter upon the Dutchman's arrival at Carrington.

The fan, who was getting her shirt signed by Zirkzee while being recorded, asked: "Can you tell Musiala to sign for United?" With one or two laughs audible in the background, a smiling Zirkzee replied: "I've tried. I've tried!"

Speculation on Musiala's immediate future has been tentative, but Manchester City are said to admire the 21-year-old, who only has 24 months to run on his contract at the Allianz Arena. His record for Bayern reads 43 goals and 31 assists from 163 matches in all competitions and Musiala also has 34 caps for Germany to his name.

Zirkzee, who is preparing for a new adventure this season, made 17 appearances for Bayern as a youngster.
