4. Pressing
Joshua Zirkzee is by no means a bad presser, but Hojlund is more active in his pressing.
Manchester United have adjusted their pressing structure this season to a 4-2-4, making them more compact than last year.
However, they still need to improve pressing through the thirds as a team and recognizing when to press aggressively.
When a player jumps out of the block, they need to do so with intent, either winning the ball or, at the very least, disrupting the opposition’s play.
Zirkzee knows what he’s doing in this system and is excellent at shadowing passing lanes, but Hojlund has more power and acceleration off the mark.
Rasmus Hojlund will be a big asset in this regard, winning the ball higher up the pitch and creating chances from transition moments.
