Joshua Zirkzee, a Manchester United player, has been pleasantly surprised by his teammates' performances this season. While he has been impressed by Luke Shaw's fitness, it is another teammate who has truly left him in awe. Zirkzee, who has had to settle for a bench role due to the reduced number of games, has still managed to make a notable impact as a dressing room presence. His unwavering support for his teammates, regardless of his own situation, is a dream come true for any manager. But it's his teammate's remarkable adaptation to a new role that has truly caught Zirkzee off guard. In the upcoming summer, Zirkzee will mark two years at Old Trafford, and he might be forgiven for being caught off guard by Luke Shaw's fitness struggles in his first season. However, this season has been a complete turnaround, with Shaw emerging as United's iron man, playing the most minutes of any player in the league. Zirkzee, speaking on the Inside Carrington podcast, admitted to being surprised by Shaw's fitness this season after an injury-riddled campaign last year. He praised Shaw's dedication and work ethic, stating that he had seen him every day and that all the rumors about his fitness were true. But it's not just Shaw who has impressed Zirkzee. Patrick Dorgu, another teammate, has also acclimatized himself to a new role with ease. Dorgu, who played as a left-winger under Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick, has been compared to Gareth Bale by fans. Zirkzee was surprised by Dorgu's performance, especially after his injury, and praised his skill and control of the ball. If the Omar Berrada rule doesn't affect Zirkzee's prospects in the summer, he can expect more opportunities to showcase his skills next season when United returns to four competitions. So, while Zirkzee has been pleasantly surprised by his teammates' performances, he is eager to see what the future holds for them at Manchester United.
