"We are thrilled to be getting a high-level player in the prime of his career with top-level experience in the German Bundesliga and with the Hungarian national team," United general manager Dave Kasper said in a news release.

"Zoltan is a technically gifted player who can play multiple attacking positions, is excellent in possession, creates chances at high rates and who works on both sides of the ball for 90 minutes."
