‘I told him…’: United fans will love what was said between Zirkzee and Mainoo after Euros meeting

Manchester United officially announced Joshua Zirkzee’s arrival at the club this afternoon, making him the first signing of the summer and the INEOS era.

The forward signs from Bologna on a five-year deal with the option of an additional season, having been targeted to ease the goalscoring burden on Rasmus Hojlund after Anthony Martial’s departure.

On Wednesday evening, Zirkzee came head-to-head with two of his new teammates, Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw, when his native Netherlands took on England in the Euro 2024 semi-final. Of course, the Three Lions ultimately reigned successful thanks to Ollie Watkins’ emphatic 90-minute winner, but United’s latest recruit still took the time to introduce himself to Mainoo post-match.

A picture of the pair’s exchange quickly circulated on social media given that, at the time, Zirkzee’s move hadn’t been confirmed nor finalised yet.

Supporters were speculating over what was said – but they needn’t guess any longer, as the Dutchman has now revealed the details of his quick chat with Mainoo.

“He [Mainoo] asked me if I was coming… I said see you soon, after the final!” Zirkzee told club media in a newly-released clip.
