“Fans couldn’t believe what Kobbie Mainoo and Manchester United Top Target Joshua Zirkzee did after watching a video of them. This shows that Kobbie will be a legend one day”-What was the meaning of that?”-Man Utd fans spot Kobbie Mainoo’s interaction with Joshua Zirkzee at full-time of England win over Netherlands
Manchester United supporters were overjoyed after seeing the interaction between Kobbie Mainoo and potential new recruit Joshua Zirkzee.
Mainoo delivered an exceptional performance as England triumphed over the Netherlands to secure a place in the Euro 2024 final. The match saw a dramatic 90th-minute winner from Ollie Watkins, who capitalized on an exquisite pass from substitute Cole Palmer, showcasing remarkable skill and composure to finish. Earlier in the game, Harry Kane had equalized Xavi Simons’ early goal with a contentious penalty. Throughout the match, Mainoo stood out with his excellent link-up play alongside Phil Foden, making a significant impact in Dortmund.
United fans’ excitement was further fueled by Mainoo’s actions following the match. After England’s victory, Mainoo shared a moment with Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee, who was substituted into the game shortly before the final whistle.
Zirkzee, who currently plays for Bologna in Serie A, is reported to have agreed on personal terms with Manchester United, paving the way for a potential £34 million transfer. This deal would mark Erik ten Hag’s first signing of the summer. The interaction between Mainoo and Zirkzee has led fans to believe that the Dutch forward’s move to Old Trafford is imminent.
Fans observed Mainoo smirking at the 23-year-old Zirkzee before they shook hands and embraced. This moment sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. One fan exclaimed, “NAHHHH THE SMIRK FROM KOBBIE.” Another commented, “Kobbie Mainoo meets Joshua Zirkzee.” A third fan speculated, “Making it obvious. What connection do they have?” A fourth remarked, “Agent Mainoo KNOWS!” Another simply stated, “Future teammates.”
Zirkzee has garnered interest from several European clubs following an impressive season where he netted 12 goals for Bologna. Previously, he had limited opportunities at Bayern Munich and moved to Bologna on a permanent transfer after loan spells at Parma and Anderlecht. Initially overlooked by Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman, Zirkzee was eventually called up due to injury issues within the squad, making his senior debut in the quarter-final victory over Turkey.
The prospect of Zirkzee joining Manchester United has fans buzzing, and the post-match interaction with Mainoo has only intensified the anticipation of his potential arrival at Old Trafford.
