He may be young, but every element of the Dane's game should complement the way Erik ten Hag wants his team to play
United’s number of such runs — defined by Opta as a “sustained off-ball movement by a player whose team is in possession, made with intensity, in order to receive a pass or create space” — into the opposition penalty area rose as Ten Hag’s debut season went on.In this example against Salernitana in January, he is the Atalanta player furthest up the pitch, with centre-back colleague Giorgio Scalvini on the ball.
Once Jeremie Boga dribbles inside the pitch, Hojlund drops into his marker to pin him and uses his body to keep the Lecce man away from any incoming pass…… before playing Lookman in on goal with his left for a shot that is ultimately flagged offside. Hojlund’s use of his body and ability in small spaces are keys to his hold-up and link play. Crucially, it highlights how much he can offer in his all-round game to his side’s attack. While the six-cap Denmark international can play on the shoulder of the opposition defence, his ability to drop in and combine with his team-mates shows he is not just a player to finish off attacks.
However, he has the physical attributes to develop that side of the game and grow into his body as he gets older and gains more experience.
