Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick says forward Joshua Zirkzee is an important player for the club despite seeing limited action with the Red Devils.
He said this in an interview with reporters ahead of Man United’s English Premier League clash against Everton on Sunday, September 6 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Dutch striker Zirkzee was pegged to leave the club in the recently closed transfer window but ended up staying at Old Trafford for the third season.
He was reportedly linked with a move to Italian Serie A side Fiorentina.
Zirkzee scored two goals and added an assist in 26 games in all competitions last season but has been left on the bench for both Man United games this season.
“For sure Josh is important, for the team, for the squad the depth.”
“Josh is happy here and I have a really good relationship with Josh. He wants to play more than he has but that is good healthy competition.”
“We have a lot of games coming up, we have a shorter period between games, Josh can do some really top things, I have seen it myself” Carrick said.
