Joshua Zirkzee has disclosed his attempts to get Jamal Musiala to join him at Manchester United.

Joshua Zirkzee recently joined Manchester United from Bologna for £36 million, becoming the club’s first summer acquisition.

Notably, in a new video broadcast on X (previously Twitter), Zirkzee gladly acknowledged that he attempted to persuade Musiala to join him at United.

When asked if he wanted fans to help him transfer his possessions to his new home, Zirkzee responded, “Can you tell Musiala to join United?” I tried, and I am still trying.”

Zirkzee and Musiala formerly played together for Bayern Munich until the Dutchman relocated to Bologna in quest of new prospects.

Since the beginning of the summer, The Sun has reported that the new United board has planned to sign Jamal Musiala, seeing him as an important component of the club’s future under Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
According to German media, Musiala has not signed a new deal with Bayern, opening up competition for the 21-year-old. That is why many Red Devils fans remain hopeful that the club will acquire the 21-year-old star this summer.Jamal Musiala is Bayern Munich’s brightest rising star right now. Photo credit: ESPN.
Jamal Musiala began his football career at Chelsea’s academy before joining Bayern Munich’s junior team in 2019 and made his senior debut the following year. 

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

Musiala has won four Bundesliga crowns, a Champions League, three DFL Super Cups, a Super Cup, and a Club World Cup, in addition to 34 caps for Germany.
