MANCHESTER, England — Netherlands forward Joshua Zirkzee joined Manchester United from Bologna on Sunday for a fee worth a reported $47 million.
Zirkzee, who was in the Dutch squad at the European Championship, signed a contract until June 2029 with the option of a further year.
The 23-year-old Zirkzee was Bologna's top scorer last season to help the Italian team qualify for the Champions League for the first time.
He will provide competition for striker Rasmus Hojlund, with Anthony Martial having left United at the end of last season after his contract expired.
