Ruud Gullit Critiques Zirkzee's Transfer to United

Ruud Gullit, the former AC Milan star, criticized Joshua Zirkzee's decision to join Manchester United instead of AC Milan, suggesting it would have better suited the Dutch striker's development. Zirkzee, who moved to United from Bologna, has struggled to find form, scoring only once in nine appearances, with Gullit pointing to United's current turmoil as a hindrance to his growth. Gullit believes that Zirkzee's familiarity with Serie A would have made a transition to Milan more beneficial, allowing him to mature in a more supportive environment. While Zirkzee showed promise with a debut goal against Fulham, critics have noted his overall performance has not met expectations. Gullit expressed hope that Zirkzee can adapt and improve at United, despite acknowledging the challenges he faces. The pundit also highlighted the contrasting decisions of other Dutch players, like Teun Koopmeiners, who opted to remain in Italy for continued development.
