From Everton trial to Serie A star - the rise of new Man Utd hero Zirkzee

Joshua Zirkzee has become an instant hero among Man Utd fans with a Premier League winner 26 minutes into his debut - scoring as a second-half substitute against Fulham on Friday.

The Old Trafford shouldn't have been surprised as they only had to look to his first minutes in a Bayern Munich shirt five years ago.

At the time, the then-18-year-old forward was used in some of Hansi Flick's first games as Bayern manager in a season in which the Bavarians would go on and win the Treble of Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League.
