Manchester United interim manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy has come out to back both Joshua Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte to become successes after slow starts. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is convinced that Ugarte will be a great player for MUFC because he has very specific qualities in midfield that will aid the team’s attack.
Ruud added that Zirkzee is also a player with lots of potential, and he’ll surely thrive eventually.
On Ugarte, “I am convinced about Manuel that he will be a great player for United. He had a very good performance yesterday and against Fenerbahce he had a good performance. I think of course, getting players in an early conclusion, players who are here for two or three months, we should be careful with that I think.
It’s a great signing, he is a very good player, professional, he has very specific qualities in midfield when he gets in between players and recover the ball for us to get us in attacking positions. Also on the ball, very decent, so I mean that he will be a very good player for this club. He wants to do well for this club and is very motivated to do so.”
On Zirkzee, “Josh is a similar answer to Manuel Ugarte’s situation. Josh came in and he is a young player with a lot of potential. He’s a different type (of striker) to Rasmus (Hojlund), because Rasmus is more of a No.9 who plays high up the pitch and he’s getting in the backs of defenders.
Josh is more of a player who is coming towards the ball and gets the team playing. In the Crystal Palace game, I thought he was excellent and showed one of his best performances.
Another one with a lot of talent, he’s a good age and has a lot of potential to develop.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
