Joshua Zirkzee has revealed his three football idols as his expected move to Manchester United edges closer.
But he failed to break into Bayern's first team on a regular basis, and it took a loan spell at Anderlecht - where he scored 16 league goals and provided eight assists - during the 2021/22 campaign to get his career up and running.
"I also learned a lot from him off the field. With Graziano, I talked a lot about life in Italy. He helped me a lot with that during that period."Unfortunately, I was only at Parma for a short time.
