Joshua Zirkzee, a Manchester United player, is said to have broken up with his longtime girlfriend Celina Jada Kerr
Since joining Old Trafford from Bologna for £36.5 million in the summer, 23-year-old Joshua Zirkzee has had a challenging time. In his first game, the forward scored against Fulham, but he hasn’t been able to establish himself as a regular starter.
Ruben Amorim, the manager of United, has always favoured Rasmus Hojlund in attack, and Zirkzee has only scored four goals in 25 appearances.

The 23-year-old has reportedly been dealt a further blow, as GSM reports that Joshua Zirkzee and his longtime girlfriend, Celina Jada Kerr, have broken up. The two were ‘longtime sweethearts’ from Zirkzee’s time at Bayern Munich with the two splitting just days before Christmas.

Celina Jada Kerr is a German influencer and model who earned a degree in Media and Communication Management from Berlin.
Celina Jada Kerr had supported Joshua Zirkzee both at Bologna and with the German powerhouses, and the Dutchman had also had loan stints with Parma and Anderlecht during his early playing career. On social media, they had mostly kept their private lives quiet, until during a video shoot with JD Sports, they were spotted cuddling.

Kerr enthusiastically shared the couple’s unisex JD Sports tracksuits on her Instagram feed during the photo shoot. But when she stopped being spotted with the forward in Manchester after his transfer, suspicions about her relationship with Zirkzee started to grow.
When neither of them shared summertime photos of the other, eyebrows were raised in a similar manner. Zirkzee and Kerr have now unfollowed one another on social media as well.
In addition, the model, who has over 100,000 Instagram followers, has started removing pictures of the couple, including the previously mentioned JD Sports photo session. Zirkzee and Kerr continue to design their new lives apart, with Kerr now only following Zirkzee’s father to all but confirm the reports of the breakup.
Zirkzee scored off the bench against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup on Thursday, but he was replaced after 54 minutes in the Red Devils’ heartbreaking 3-0 loss to Bournemouth on Sunday.
