Manchester United, led by head coach Ruben Amorim, beat Everton 4-0 at home in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on the 1st (Korean time). United had five wins, four draws and four losses (19 points).
At the heart of the victory was Zirkjay. Zirkjay, who started the day, was responsible for two goals alone. He scored an additional goal in the 41st minute of the first half when Manchester United was leading 1-0. Manchester United induced Everton's error with strong pressure. Bruno Fernandes drove the ball into the opponent's side and passed it to Zirkjay, who was running from the other side. Zirkjay calmly completed the score. He completed an additional 19 minutes into the second half. Zirkjay finished Ahmad Diallo's pass with an additional score.
Zirkjay wore United's uniform ahead of this season. I had high expectations. In the 2023-2024 season, Zirkjay scored 11 goals and 4 assists in 34 Italian Serie A matches in Bologna's uniform. He also played for the Dutch national football team in Euro 2024. Zirkjay, a tall striker of 1m93, was praised for his excellent dribbling and playmaking abilities despite his tall height. Manchester United reportedly invested £34 million to buy him.
Zirkjay made a strong impression on his EPL debut. He scored the winning goal in the EPL opener against Fulham in August, leading his team to a 1-0 victory. But that was it. Djirkjay rarely scored. He became the main character of the rumor after less than six months of joining.
