On the Planet Premier League podcast, Fabregas noted that Zirkzee, who came off the bench to score the winner in United’s 1-0 victory over Fulham, excels by dropping deep and participating in build-up play.

Fabregas remarked, “Manchester United were somewhat unconvincing against Fulham, but Zirkzee made a significant impact. As a striker, he plays like Karim Benzema—a false nine who drops deep and joins the attack late. He has a knack for finding the goal and is a great addition.”
