United blocked Zirkzee loan to Everton, left him unused on bench against them

Manchester United blocked Joshua Zirkzee's proposed loan to Everton after failing to sign a replacement striker in the transfer window. Zirkzee then watched from the substitutes' bench as United drew at Goodison Park — the ground he might have called home. Benjamin Sesko's late header spared United, but the forward they wouldn't let go played no part.
