Fans of Manchester United were ecstatic to learn how much new acquisition Joshua Zirkzee is playing.

The 23-year-old attacker from the Netherlands completed his £36.5 million transfer from Bologna to Old Trafford on Sunday.

Joshua Zirkzee, a Dutch talent, is Manchester United’s first summer addition.

The forward’s five-year contract discloses his salary.

Zirkzee became the first player signed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe at the Theatre of Dreams, agreeing to a five-year deal.

It has now been reported in a new revelation that he will be paid £56,000 a week.

Additionally, several fans were pleasantly surprised to discover the relatively little amount after years of spending enormous sums of money on player salaries and transfer fees.

In reaction to the news on X, one person said, “Wow this is so unlike us.”

“Good, INEOS are out here not to overpay wages to anyone coming in now,” remarked a second.

“Great to see better financial management from a salaries perspective!” exclaimed a third.

Just £56k a week, said another commenter. Observe how mature my club is acting.

That’s fantastic, said the fifth. These days, Manchester United is a real deal.

A sixth said, “Ed Woodward would have already placed him on £100k+ per week.” My club is no longer recognised by me.

With 12 goals in 37 games the previous season, Zirkzee attracted the attention of United manager Erik Ten Hag.

In addition, his excellent final Serie A season earned him a spot in the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 squad.

He made his debut for them against Turkey in the quarterfinals. After that, Zirkzee was awarded his second cap during the Dutch team’s tҺrilling semifinal defeat against England.

After that game, Zirkzee was spotted having a long conversation with his new teammate, Kobbie Mainoo.

The former academy graduate from Bayern Munich is now happy to be a member of the Red Devils.

“I know how exciting the future is going to be here and I cannot wait to play my part in achieving success for Manchester United,” he stated after speaking with the manager and the club’s officials.

“As a player, I’ve always put my all into winning, and I’m eager for this new challenge to advance in my career and take home more awards.

“To be accepted into a club with such history is an honour.

“After being with the national team, I have to take a little break, but I’ll be back ready to make an immediate impact.”

Now, Zirkzee’s arrival is anticipated by United supporters to mark the start of a bustling transfer window.
