Zirkzee avoids FA ban after crude celebration

Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has avoided disciplinary action from the FA following a crude celebration during the club's 3-1 victory over Southampton. Zirkzee, who was substituted into the game, celebrated enthusiastically after teammate Amad Diallo's goals, but his actions included a gesture that some viewed as obscene, reminiscent of previous incidents involving players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Jude Bellingham. While the FA issued a reminder of Zirkzee's responsibilities, they decided against imposing a ban, allowing him to play in the upcoming match against Brighton. The incident sparked discussions among fans, with some praising Zirkzee's impact as a substitute, while others expressed concern over his conduct. United's win was largely attributed to Diallo's remarkable 12-minute hat-trick, which turned the game around for the team. Zirkzee's celebration drew attention on social media, but ultimately, he will not face further consequences for it.
