Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee provided an excellent performance on Saturday to help Netherlands win 5-2 over Bosnia and Herzegovina in their Nations League group game.
The 23-year-old provided an early breakthrough for his country with a close-range header.
Ermedin Demirović restored parity after 27 minutes but Zirkzee set up Tijjani Reijnders for a brilliant goal just before the interval.
Cody Gakpo extended their lead early in the second-half before Edin Dzeko pulled one back on 73 minutes.
However, Wout Weghorst and Xavi Simons added two late strikes to ensure an emphatic victory for the Oranje at the Philips Stadion.
Zirkzee stayed on the pitch for 74 minutes and had 38 touches in the game. He completed 19 of his 26 passes and also created three big chances.
The Netherlands international made a tackle as well as an interception, and also made four key passes.
Ronald Koeman’s side will now play against Germany on Tuesday at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Manchester United supporters will hope Zirkzee will carry his form into the Premier League following the international break.
He has made a positive start to life in Manchester after joining the club from Bologna this summer.
The 23-year-old scored on his debut against Fulham after being featured off the bench by manager Erik ten Hag.
The centre-forward wasn’t very effective in the Red Devils’ 3-0 loss to Liverpool but he still performed better than some other United stars.
