Joshua Zirkzee has been urged to quit Man United just months into his tenure at the club following the “disgusting treatment” he received during their 2-0 loss against Newcastle on Monday (30 December).

Goals from Alexander Isak and Joelinton in the first 20 minutes put the game beyond Ruben Amorim’s men, but Zirkzee was made a scapegoat when he was substituted in the 33rd minute.

The United forward not only had to endure an embarrassing first half substitution, but it was a decision cheered by the United fans in a moment that stunned Gary Neville.

An emotional Zirkzee immediately headed down the tunnel out of frustration, while the substitution failed to change the tide of the game.

The 23-year-old joined the Premier League giants during the summer on a £36.5million deal from Bologna.

Zirkzee has struggled to find his feet at Old Trafford since making the move from Serie A, scoring just four goals in 27 appearances across all competitions.

Joshua Zirkzee must quit Man United

United fans were quick to admit they “feel sorry” for him and that he “doesn’t deserve this treatment.”

However, after the dust settled on the match and how Zirkzee was treated people told him that he “needs to leave” Old Trafford.

80 grand a week.. byee

Just throwing my hat into the ring — Old Trafford doing that to Zirkzee was disgusting, honestly don’t care if he’s not been great but he’s been hung out to dry, new signing and you treat him that horribly because he’s been pipped as the fall guy? Grim.

Dalot needs to leave and probably so does zirkzee but I feel so bad for zirk, he was awful today but the fact he was booed off the pitch doesn’t sit right with me, not his fault he’s playing with a bunch of retards (he’s also not good enough)

Zirkzee will be quick to leave in January to end this nightmare he is in. We will then hear stories a year or so down the line, about how horrible his time at Utd was.

The circus that is Manchester United Football Club continues to never disappoint.
