New tactics spark Zee end for Joshua

IT was one in and one out for United’s striker department this summer.

Benjamin Sesko’s arrival meant it was inevitable Rasmus Hojlund would be on his way out of the club, and so it proved as the Dane signed for Napoli on loan. Hojlund’s switch to Naples included an obligation to buy, meaning we won’t be seeing him back at Old Trafford in the red of United.

The signing of Sesko and the departure of Hojlund meant is was very much as you were for the Reds’ only other senior striker, Joshua Zirkzee. And yet he's still dropped a place in the pecking order.

Despite not being a conventional centre-forward, Zirkzee was expected to provide competition and support for Sesko, as he had done the previous season with Hojlund.
