According to The Sun, the acquisition of the 23-year-old player was initiated by the new owners of the club. The Dutch coach was also frustrated that Zirkzee arrived at Old Trafford overweight. Instead of cutting his vacation short and joining the Red Devils for a preseason tour in the USA, Joshua spent time in Los Angeles.
