Manchester United's new signing Joshua Zirkzee has already tried to convince Jamal Musiala to join

Joshua Zirkzee has revealed his attempts to persuade Jamal Musiala to join him at Manchester United.

Zirkzee recently completed a £36m move to Old Trafford from Bologna to become the Premier League Giants First signing of the summer.

He joins after previously having been at German giants Bayern Munich, for whom he played alongside the midfield sensation. Musiala.

The 21-year-old is considered one of the best young talents in European football and would be a dream signing for any club.

So much so that one ambitious fan in a video on social media asked Zirkzee if he could help with a move and his response suggests he would be interested too.

“Can you tell Musiala to join United?” they asked when Zirkzee signed their shirts, who smiled and replied: “I've tried, I've tried.”

A former member of Chelsea's academy, Musiala joined Bayern's youth team in 2019 and made his senior debut the following year.

The attacking midfielder has made a total of 163 appearances for the club, scoring 43 goals and assisting 31 in all competitions.

Musiala has four Bundesliga titles, one Champions League, three German Super Cups, one Super Cup and one Club World Cup to his name, as well as 34 caps for the German national team.

His current contract with Bayern expires in 2026 and a previous report suggested he has rejected offers for a new deal.

However, there appears to be little speculation about a possible exit this summer, so Zirkzee may have to wait a little longer before attempting to reunite with Musiala.

United fans are yet to see the striker in action but will be hoping he can bring his attacking quality to the Premier League in the new season.

Zirkzee scored 14 goals for Bologna in two seasons, 12 of them in the previous campaign, along with seven assists.

He is expected to compete with Rasmus Hojlund for the starting place at United following the departure of Anthony Martial.

The 23-year-old represented the Netherlands at Euro 2024 but was not included in Erik ten Hag's squad for United's pre-season tour of the United States.

Zirkzee, on the other hand, has been training at their Carrington base and could make his debut in the Community Shield against Manchester City on August 10.

Before then, however, United face Real Betis and Liverpool in their final two pre-season friendlies.
