Carrick reveals Zirkzee plan after failed Deadline Day exit
Michael Carrick insists Joshua Zirkzee will play a prominent role for Manchester United this season after he failed to find a move away from the club this summer.
Everton came in with a Deadline Day loan bid for the player as they scrambled to find a striker after Folarin Balogun failed his medical.

Balogun → reveal → medical
United rejected the proposal, though, and Zirkzee will remain in situ until January at least.
asserted
Zirkzee → reject → January
He has played a bit-part role in the early days of the Premier League campaign, with Matheus Cunha preferred as a centre-forward, while Benjamin Sesko’s newfound fitness will further reduce his playing time.

United → have → fronts
