Koeman and Dutch media react to Joshua Zirkzee performance last night as he played two positions

Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee ‘looked lost’ in the Netherlands’ surprise 1-1 draw with Bosnia on Tuesday night, with Dutch media criticising his ‘zero confidence’ performance.

United’s summer signing endured a difficult evening in the Nations League as the Netherlands were held by a resilient Bosnia side, while Zirkzee struggled to make an impact in the final third.

The 23-year-old failed to register a single shot during his 77 minutes on the pitch, maintaining a 76% pass accuracy and losing possession eight times before being replaced by Wout Weghorst for the final 15 minutes.

Zirkzee was deployed as a number 10 behind striker Brian Brobbey, an experiment that did not necessarily work for Ronald Koeman, with Dutch media far from impressed by the Man United star’s performance.

De Telegraaf rated Zirkzee’s display a 6/10, highlighting his missed opportunity shortly before half-time:
