Live Updates: Man United Transfer News - Zirkzee, Yoro, and More

 

Manchester United confirmed the signing of striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna on a permanent deal. The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract, with the option of a further year, after passing a medical in Manchester over the weekend.

Zirkzee becomes the first signing of the Ineos era at Old Trafford, with the club under new ownership following their takeover by the British multinational.

"It is a privilege to join such an iconic club," Zirkzee said. "I have to take a short break now after being with the national team, but I'll be coming back ready to make an impact straight away."

Manchester United are still waiting on a decision from teenage center-back Leny Yoro regarding their £50 million offer to Lille. Reports suggest that Yoro is seriously considering the move to Old Trafford, but an official announcement is yet to be made.
