Man United fans are all saying same thing about Joshua Zirkzee performance vs Ipswich town as major ‘revelation’ is spotted

Manchester United returned to action on Wednesday evening against Premier League strugglers Ipswich Town and the Red Devils showed vulnerabilities again.

Ruben Amorim’s men were placed on the back foot in the opening five minutes after a complete miscommunication between Patrick Dorgu and Andre Onana.

Patrick Dorgu played his back pass past an advancing Onana and Jaden Philogene pounced on the opportunity and slotted the ball into the empty United net.

United fought back and found an equaliser in the 22nd minute after Ipswich’s Sam Morsy put the ball into the back of his own net from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick.

The Red Devils built on their momentum and United took the lead only four minutes later after Matthijs de Ligt slotted the ball past Alex Palmer from close range.

However, Patrick Dorgu’s first-half display took another ugly turn after he received a straight red card in the 43rd minute before Ipswich hit back against United.

Kieran McKenna’s men took a 2-2 scoreline into the break at Old Trafford after Jaden Philogene completed his brace against United in first-half injury time.

Philogene put in an attempted cross looking for Liam Delap and the ball bounced past the Ipswich forward and Onana before landing in the back of the United net.

Man Utd fans react to Zirkzee vs Ipswich
Manchester United fans on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, waxed lyrical about Joshua Zirkzee’s performance against Ipswich Town.

Red Devils supporters praised Zirkzee’s display as a No 10 in Wednesday evening’s clash and he was praised for “demonstrating the fight” needed from players.

“Zirkzee at [No] 10 is a revelation,” one fan simply said.

Another X user wrote: “There’s a player in Zirkzee. His control, touch and hold-up play [are] excellent. Needs to adjust fully to this league and speed, but there’s definitely a quality player there.”

Someone else tweeted: “Zirkzee hold-up play is brilliant with a man down. Pity he keeps running at fellas with no support with him, just hold the ball and draw the foul, man.”

“I see a player in Zirkzee, man, good vision and hold-up play,” a fourth posted.

While a fifth claimed: “Zirkzee is really growing on me; there is a player in there somewhere.”

Somebody else added: “The pace and intensity that was non-existent in Zirkzee at the beginning of the season has [surfaced] from thin air. More of [this] please.”

And a seventh wrote: “Zirkzee’s movement [in] the last few games has been really, really good. I know everything is terrible right now, but he’s one of the players demonstrating the fight.”

An eighth supporter suggested: “Zirkzee will be a serious player in a proper team. He’s been class tonight.”
