Joshua Zirkzee had the perfect response after Ruben Amorim went ‘ballistic’ at him during Man Utd’s thumping win over Everton

Europa League

Manchester United

Rangers

<p>Zirkzee was handed a starting spot in United's team for Sunday's clash with Everton at Old Trafford but the Dutchman was reportedly on the receiving end of head coach Amorim's ire early on. According to Manchester Evening News <a href="https://x.com/samuelluckhurst/status/1863219722314998173" target="_blank">journalist Samuel Luckhurst</a>, the 39-year-old went 'ballistic' at Zirkzee for not pressing the opposition well enough in the first half. But the 23-year-old went on to score either side of the break in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-everton-joshua-zirkzee-marcus-rashford/blt94c8c73117e11308" target="_blank">4-0 victory</a>, which was an ideal response to the criticism.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Zirkzee swapped Bologna for United for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/joshua-zirkzee-manchester-united-transfer-bologna-striker-agree-deal/blt0c21ce27f1829f3a" target="_blank">£36 million ($46m, €42.5m)</a> over the summer but prior to the Everton game, the move had not gone to plan. The Netherlands international had scored just one goal in 18 appearances for the Red Devils, leading to January exit links and some at United questioning if they had made a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-aware-joshua-zirkzee-investment-juventus-transfer-talks-forward-agent/bltc003c5937eceb2eb" target="_blank">mistake signing him</a>. But this double against the Toffees could do wonders for his confidence.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Zirkzee, who was a late call-up to the Dutch squad for this summer's European Championships, scored 12 goals and bagged seven assists for Bologna last season but his slow start this term led some pundits to believe he was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/joshua-zirkzee-too-slow-for-premier-league-man-utd-tipped-loan-forward-crazy-transfer-backfire/blt8ceaf61e7114aaaf" target="_blank">not a good fit for United</a>. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Zirkzee will hope for more game time, ahead of fellow striker Rasmus Hojlund, when ninth-placed United travel to second-positioned Arsenal at the Emirates in a crunch Premier League encounter on Wednesday night.</p>
