Jamal Musiala has opened up about temptations to join Manchester United following persuasion from a new 'Red Devils' striker.
Jamal Musiala has disclosed that Joshua Zirkzee, Manchester United's new striker, made an earnest attempt to persuade him to join the Premier League giants this summer.
Zirkzee, who was part of a major spending spree at United, tried to entice Musiala to make the move from Bayern Munich to Old Trafford.
The conversation between Musiala and Zirkzee took place during their summer holiday, where Zirkzee, having recently secured his own move to United, playfully but sincerely urged his former Bayern Munich teammate to join him at the Red Devils.

Harambee Stars coach gets his wish as Namibia lose to Cameroon ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Kenya
Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat had his wish granted as his team’s next opponents Namibia were beaten by Cameroon on Saturday ahead of next week’s meeting with Kenya.
Despite Zirkzee's playful banter about reuniting at Bayern Munich, the Dutch striker's effort to lure Musiala to Manchester highlights a significant moment of transfer intrigue.
Manchester United had a busy transfer window, splashing close to £200 million on new signings including Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui.
However, Musiala's potential move was a topic of considerable speculation. Although United’s eighth-place finish in the Premier League last season might seem a deterrent, Musiala’s contract situation at Bayern, which expires in less than two years, makes the prospect of a move more plausible.
