Erik ten Hag welcomed Zirkzee to United in 2024 after being left impressed by his form in Serie A with Bologna. The Netherlands international was heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford last summer but ended up staying as United instead moved on Rasmus Hojlund. ‘I saw that Roma maybe wanted to take him and I hope that he will leave Manchester United,’ Gullit said in January. It is unbelievable how well McTominay has done since he left Old Trafford.
