September 7th 2024.
Joshua Zirkzee spent an impressive five years honing his skills at Bayern Munich before making a move to Bologna. However, his journey didn't end there as he was soon signed by Manchester United for a whopping £36 million in July. It was a dream come true for the young striker, and he made an incredible debut by scoring the winning goal against Fulham.
Before his stint in Italy, Zirkzee shared the pitch with his former teammate Jamal Musiala at Bayern Munich. They not only formed a formidable partnership on the field but also a strong bond off it. The two were even spotted vacationing together after their participation in Euro 2024. It was clear that they remained close friends despite going their separate ways in their careers.
During this vacation, a video of Zirkzee went viral on social media. In the video, a cheeky Red Devils fan can be seen asking the Dutchman to convince Musiala to join Manchester United. Zirkzee laughed and playfully responded, "I've tried, I've tried." And it turns out he wasn't kidding, as Musiala has confirmed that they did have a joking conversation about joining forces at Old Trafford.
In an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Musiala revealed, "You always joke around with friends and dream of playing together in a team one day." It's no surprise that the talented midfielder is highly sought after, with an impressive record of 44 goals and 31 assists in just 166 appearances for Bayern. He could have even represented England, as he spent time in Southampton and Chelsea's academies.
Despite the temptation of playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, it seems highly unlikely that Musiala will leave Bayern anytime soon. When asked about his future, he expressed his happiness and focus on achieving goals with both his club and the national team. He also added, "I don't think too much about where I will be playing in five years. Things can always change quickly in the world of football."
Meanwhile, Zirkzee is currently on international duty with the Netherlands and will return to play for Manchester United on September 14 against Southampton. It's clear that both players are highly focused on their respective careers and are determined to succeed. But who knows, maybe one day they'll have the opportunity to play together again. Only time will tell.
