United faced the Spanish side in the first leg of his draw of the Europa League Thursday evening, with the Zirkzee opening match canceled by the penalty of the 70th minute of Mikel Oyarzabal.
Zirkzee had achieved a solid performance during a mixed evening for the side of Ruben Amorim, although the draw leaves them in good position before the second stage next week at Old Trafford.
Zirkzee’s display comes after the Dutchman has impressed in recent weeks despite the wider difficulties of his team, the 23 -year -old woman showing signs of her quality after her summer move of 36.5 million pounds from Bologna.

However, Zirkzee bowed and offered the hope that he could live up to the potential who saw him win the young player of the season of Serie A in 2023-24.
And the atmosphere has radically changed surrounding Zirkzee, with fans quickly to praise him on social networks after the Sociedad game.
One said: “To be hué in Old Trafford, to the establishment of solid consecutive performances. He quietly played in the team and made it difficult to drop him. So happy for Joshua Zirkzee.
Another added: “Joshua Zirkzee quietly connected the last games and solidified his place in the 11 well -deserved departure.”
Another fan sounded with: “If you are a fan of the UTD and Zirkzee Scring does not bring you a huge smile, we have nothing in common lol.”
“We could be assisted by the most mean return arc of Joshua Zirkzee,” joked an additional fan. “”

And United Fans quickly commented on the improvement and arc of Zirkzee’s improvement and redemption
Meanwhile, another supporter commented on how Amorim started to get the most out of Zirkzee by modifying his tactics.
“For all the first criticisms, Joshua Zirkzee has become one of the rare light points of a disastrous season of Manchester United,” they said.
“Many expected it to be something that it is not, an incoming and out attacker, which led to an unjust examination. But he kept his head down, constantly putting teams and drawing the best party from his opportunities despite a lack of runners in the team to capitalize on his movement and his passes.
“A talented player who, I believe, could have a real future at the club if things go well.”
Meanwhile, Amorim had joined the praise of Zirkzee after the match saying: “ he deserves it because he works very well, improving a lot in the game, (and) it was really important to us today. ”
United returns to the action on Sunday when they welcome Arsenal, before the Red Devils were facing Real Sociedad next Thursday.
