Prior to his stint in Serie A, the forward spent five years in Munich where he came through the youth ranks alongside Musiala and formed a great friendship with the German superstar.
While the two have long gone their separate ways on the pitch, off it they remain close and were even pictured holidaying together over the summer following their participation in Euro 2024.
As a result, in a footage that went viral on social media, one Red Devils fan cheekily asked Zirkzee: ‘Can you tell Musiala to join United?’, while getting an autograph from the new signing.
The Dutchman laughed and responded: ‘I’ve tried, I’ve tried,’ and it seems he wasn’t lying, as Musiala has now confirmed the two did jokingly discuss a transfer to Old Trafford.
‘You always joke around with friends and dream of playing together in a team one day,’ the 21-year-old told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
