Zirkzee was filmed walking up to the front door at Carrington for the first time, having been granted time off since his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/joshua-zirkzee-man-utd-bologna-gbp36m-transfer-old-trafford-ineos/blt7ea32762eb03c836" target="_blank">move from Bologna </a>due to competing in the latter stages of Euro 2024 with Netherlands.

WATCH THE CLIP

Asked by the person holding the camera if he'd had a good break, Zirkzee replied: "Top", before entering the building.

WHAT ZIRKZEE SAID

Most of the United first-team squad are on tour duty in the United States, having played Arsenal over the weekend and with scheduled games to come against Real Betis and Liverpool. But those who have been involved in the latter stages of international tournaments <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-kobbie-mainoo-joshua-zirkzee-wont-join-man-utd-pre-season-despite-turning-up-in-la/bltfd8b6d5b328d672e" target="_blank">are in the process of returning in spurts after delayed summer holidays</a>. Senior first-team coach Steve McClaren is overseeing things at Carrington as he recovers from foot surgery that prevented him travelling on the tour.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Zirkzee will undergo tests at Carrington to gauge his fitness after a brief break. With only a few days of the pre-season tour left, the club do not intend to fly him out to the United States and he will train in Manchester until the rest are back. United have the Community Shield against Manchester City on August 10.
