JOSHUA ZIRKZEE better be good because Manchester United have nothing up front at the moment.
Bologna’s new £36.5m signing returned to training a week ago at Carrington.
It was decided not to bring him here to the US to get used to his new teammates after he was part of the Netherlands team that reached the semifinals of the Euros.
But he only played four minutes Germany and even on vacation in Los Angeles when Manchester United they were here at their training base.
Could he really not have joined them in part of this?
About that Rasmus Hojlund scored and then limped off in the opening game against Arsenal and will be out of action with a hamstring injury for six weeks.
That’s left Erik ten Witch implementing a false nine system ever since.
It worked on FA Cup Final against City of Manchester where Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay acted like two false nines from the depths.
O neighbors will meet again this Saturday at Community shelter and this will probably be used again.

Bayern Munchen I didn’t think the 23-year-old was good enough and he only played 17 times for them. You might ask yourself why?
For Bologna he scored just 14 goals in 58 games.
They are back in the same position as last year, heading into a new season with an unproven young striker in the Premier League.
United are also desperate for goals to come from somewhere.
It was a rather disappointing first season for Hojlund, as the Red Devils had the worst goals in the first half of the Premier League alongside Crystal Palace with 57.
The good News is that Marcus Rashford recovered from the injury suffered against Real Betis to start in this game.
The evidence from the three games here showed that Rashford is returning to his best after scoring just eight times last season, compared to 30 the season before.
He was again the star for United, as he had been against Real Betis, although without scoring on this occasion.
Liverpool, however, did so with some ease.

Fábio Carvalho opened the scoring in the 10th minute when he sold Casemiro a dummy and launched a shot into the bottom corner with the help of a slight deflection.
Curtis Jones past Aaron Wan-Bissaka to score the second from close range in the 36th minute after some good work Mohammed Salah to help him.
The third came in the 61st minute, when Diogo Jota’s shot was saved by André Onana and Kostas Tsimikas followed him.
There was a sellout of 77,559 at Williams-Brice Stadium for this game.
This is the biggest football game of all time, both in North Carolina and here in South Carolina, which is where there is the most interest in the Premier League of anywhere in America.
Liverpool fans will certainly have more reason to feel positive.
United fans not so much.
There are those injuries on Hojlund and Leny Yoro which proved to be a huge blow when the team returned home today.
Yes, main players like Bruno FernandesLisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw were not here and as always in pre-season matches, teams were cut and changed as the game progressed.
Still, this was a heartbreaking defeat for United to a great rival.
