The former Bologna striker was unable to find a game-winner for the Red Devils despite having golden opportunities.

Man United fans were not impressed with Zirkzee, Alejandro Garnacho, and other players. Bruno Fernandes' penalty was cancelled by a sensational Moises Caicedo volley to draw Chelsea level.

The Red Devils are 13th in the Premier League after 10 games with 12 points. This is their worst start to the season in over 30 years.

Fans blast Zirkzee

Zirkzee shared a post on social media that angered many fans.

@AmorimChapter:

"Zirkzee is not a STRIKER, Amorim has to find a way to have runners like Garnacho and Rashford being fed through him for it to make it work."
"Currently United setup attack mostly through their width, both wingers stay very wide which is why Zirkzee is struggling in this setup."

@MUFC_Ztr:

"He is the most shameless guy ever."

@tomiobanure:

"Zirkzee is an alte striker, he doesn’t believe in goals."

@Adam_655:

"Hope he can turn it around but he genuinely doesn’t look good enough for us, but then again it’s still early days."

@wealth_united_:

Zirkzee is simply the worst ever. Can’t pass, can’t dribble, can’t shoot, lazy, slow, weak, loses the ball all the time, can’t head the ball despite being built like an NBA player."

Zirkzee back to Serie A?

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Zirkzee was offered a return to the Italian Serie A after a slow start at Manchester United.

Reports in Italy indicate that Juventus are interested in the forward, which could see him reunite with his former boss at Bologna, Thiago Motta.
