Joshua Zirkzee (£36.5 m) – 8/10

With Anthony Martial leaving on a free transfer, it was clear that signing a striker was a major priority for Manchester United.

It was equally important to bring in a player who wouldn’t obstruct Rasmus Hojlund’s development.

Enter Joshua Zirkzee.

Self-described as a 9.5, Zirkzee doesn’t fit into the traditional roles of a pure number 9 or number 10.

This potentially opens up the possibility for him and Hojlund to play together in various systems.

Standing at 6ft 4, Zirkzee adds much-needed physicality to the squad, elevating the team’s physical flooring.

Having scored 12 goals and provided 7 assists for Bologna last season in Serie A, Zirkzee appears to be a shrewd addition and fills a crucial need for Manchester United.

Zirkzee already has one goal for his new club and will be hoping to add more over the coming weeks.
