Takes one shot in rare start
Zirkzee generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 58th minute.
Analysis: Zirkzee was handed a rare start up front with Benjamin Sesko sidelined through injury and Bryan Mbeumo beginning the game on the bench. The forward played 65 minutes, nearly double the total he had logged since February, but struggled to make an impact, managing just one shot and failing to add to his tally of two goals in 22 appearances (five starts) this season.
Returns to bench
Zirkzee (strain) remained an unused substitute in Sunday's 3-2 victory against Fulham, confirming he is back available for Manchester United.
Analysis: Zirkzee made his return to the match squad during Sunday's clash against the Cottagers after shaking off an issue that kept him sidelined for the previous two matches. The forward ultimately stayed on the bench, as his role under new head coach Michael Carrick has yet to be clearly defined.
