Former Man Utd star Andy Cole advises club to show patience with young talent Zirkzee

Zirkzee missed two clear-cut opportunities that could have potentially helped his team make a comeback in the game.

However, speaking to Betfred, Cole said: "He looks lively enough. He’s already come out and said that he’s not a number nine, but more of a nine and a half. 

“I think Manchester United just want somebody that’s going to score goals and he got himself in good positions at times against Liverpool on Sunday and could have done a little bit better with some of the chances he got.

"He’s only three games into his Manchester United career, so we can’t be judgemental of a player that’s started only one game and it was a big game to start against Liverpool.”
