Man Utd Fans Demand Sell After "Shocking" Performance Against Villa
Manchester United fans have been left fuming after a poor display against Aston Villa, with many demanding that a summer signing is sold after a lackluster performance.
The Red Devils struggled to create chances against the Villains, with many fans calling for changes during the game. Captain Bruno Fernandes was one player who was under pressure from the get-go, with many fans on social media demanding that Erik ten Hag bring him off at halftime.
But it was not just Fernandes who struggled. Striker Rasmus Hojlund was replaced by Joshua Zirkzee in the 64th minute, but the Dutchman failed to make a significant impact on the game. Zirkzee had previously impressed on his debut against Fulham, but his sluggish display against Villa has left many fans underwhelmed.
" Sell Zirkzee in January and forget it ever happened," one fan tweeted, while another agreed, "Zirkzee looks like he’s never played football before. Sell him." A third fan was more vocal, stating, "IVE F***ING HAD IT WITH ZIRKZEE. HE DOES NOT PLAY FOR THE BADGE AT ALL. SELL HIM TO GO AHEAD EAGLES NOW."
So, should Manchester United cash in on Zirkzee in the January transfer window? At 10 appearances, he has failed to make a significant impact on the team, and many fans feel that he does not fit the bill.
Additional Analysis
Zirkzee’s struggles can be attributed to a combination of factors. Firstly, he lacks the pace and agility to keep up with the intensity of the Premier League. Secondly, he has yet to develop a clinical finish, often fluffing his lines when presented with a clear scoring opportunity. Lastly, he has been deployed in a number of different positions, which may have contributed to his inconsistency.
