Jamal Musiala and Joshua Zirkzee holidayed together in the US this summer.
The Bayern Munich player is 21-years-of-age and the new Manchester United attacker is 23. Their friendship grew whilst they were together at the Bundesliga club, and that bond remains to this day.
At the end of the summer, Zirkzee was asked by a fan about whether he’d tried to get Musiala to join Manchester United with him. It was a long shot, but apparently the Netherlands international gave a positive answer.
Musiala has now been asked about this during an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. His reply was: “You always joke around with friends and dream of playing together in a team one day. The jokes go both ways: I also told Josh that he should come back to Bayern. But you shouldn’t take that too seriously.”
When that didn’t produce the desired results, they asked outright whether he’d like to play for another world level club, given his Bayern contract expires in 2026.
“I am very happy at FC Bayern and fully focused on our goals with the club and the national team. I don’t think too much about where I will be playing in five years. Things can always change quickly in the world of football.”
Manchester United would surely have to work their way up the Premier League table and qualify for the Champions League to have a chance.
