Man United star produces another poor performance for the Netherlands | OneFootball

Netherlands played out a 1-1 draw against Bosnia & Herzegovina in their final Nations League group stage game on Tuesday night.

The Dutch had already qualified for the quarter-final stage of the competition, and manager Ronald Koeman changed his entire starting XI yesterday.

Ajax star Brian Brobbey opened the scoring in the first half against Bosnia, but they were pegged back by a 67th-minute equaliser from Ermedin Demirovic.

The Netherlands lacked a cutting edge in attack, with just two shots on target. Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee was disappointing once more.

Zirkzee got the nod in the number 10 role behind Brobbey. He had a difficult outing, attempting just 19 passes before his late substitution.

The 23-year-old won just two out of five duels contested and lost possession on eight occasions. He did not muster a single shot on target in the game.

Zirkzee received a 5/10 rating from Voetbal International for his performance yesterday.

The Dutchman has been going a difficult phase, and his showing yesterday is unlikely to improve his starting prospects at club level.

Rasmus Hojlund’s form has also been concerning in recent times, but he has provided the physical presence Zirkzee lacks.

The former Bologna man has struggled to adapt to the higher intensity and physicality of the Premier League, and he is already considering a departure in January.

United are unlikely to contemplate his winter exit. New manager Ruben Amorim will want to assess how Zirkzee could fare in his 3-4-3 set-up before making a decision.
