Joshua Zirkzee appears to perform X-rated celebration that saw Jude Bellingham investigated after Man Utd comeback
JOSHUA ZIRKZEE appeared to perform the same X-rated celebration that saw Jude Bellingham investigated against Southampton.
The Dutch striker was on the pitch as Manchester United completed a shock comeback against the Saints.
Manuel Ugarte‘s own-goal had looked likely to to hand the Premier League’s bottom side an unlikely win at Old Trafford.
However, Amad Diallo‘s stunning late hat-trick turned the game on its head to hand Ruben Amorim’s side victory.
The winger’s heroics sparked jubilant scenes from his team-mates including Zirkzee.
The forward could be seen grabbing his crouch with his right hand while the team celebrated by the corner flag.
Jude Bellingham landed himself in hot water when he performed a similar gesture after England beat Slovakia at Euro 2024.
The midfielder was handed a suspended one-match ban and fined £25,000.
Former Man United star Cristiano Ronaldo was handed a one-game ban for making the gesture while at Al-Nassr.
He was also slapped with a £16,850 fine for the incident.

Zirkzee was a second-half substitute for the Red Devils against the Saints.
He made a decent impact on the game as he replaced Rasmus Hojlund.
His impact has seen fans call for him to start ahead of the Danish striker against Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday.
Despite this, it was Amad who gained most of the plaudits for his 12-minute hat-trick.
The Ivorian netted the equaliser in the 82nd minute before adding two more in the 90th and 94th minutes.
He was saved his blushes by fans after he booted his hat-trick ball into the crowd as it was thrown back to him.
