New Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee says it has been a “rollercoaster” few weeks after signing for the club.
The 23-year-old joined the Red Devils from Italian side Bologna in a deal worth £36.54m.
He scored 14 goals across 58 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A club over two seasons.
“I have a lot of trust and a good feeling about this step,” Zirkzee told club media. “It wasn’t a difficult decision. I mean, I love Bologna a lot, but Manchester United just gave me a very, very good feeling.
“I’m confident that what’s planned will also happen.
“It’s been a rollercoaster, the past few weeks. Some very good experiences and I’m very happy to be here. Obviously, making a transfer to Manchester United is something very positive.
“I just can’t wait to get started and continue what I basically did last season. I’m just hoping to improve every day and do the best I can.”
The Netherlands international will now take a break before joining his new team-mates for pre-season training having recently returned from being with his national side at Euro 2024.
“I’m very happy to be here,” he added. “I mean, it’s probably the biggest club in the world, so I can’t wait to get started and get to know everyone and start this journey. I’m very, very excited.
“I’m going on a short break. Try and relax a little bit and then get back to Manchester and get it going.
“Obviously, it [Old Trafford] is an insane stadium. I can’t wait to play in the stadium. Just very, very excited, very motivated.”
