Erik ten Hag criticises Man Utd’s desire in Twente draw
Serie Ais a striker who prefers to operate deeper and link play, as opposed to playing high and on the shoulder all of the time.
So, United have to have been aware when they were watching the Dutch forward that he was not perhaps a traditional striker in the way that their fans may have expected. He is extremely skilful and comfortable in possession for such a strong forward player and as such when opposition defenders get tight to him he is always a threat to get turned and drive towards goal.In this Serie A example he receives wide with his back to goal dribbling past defenders and playing the ball into space
The key for United, when they do choose to play Zirkzee as the main striker in their system, is to make sure they have enough players around him who can take shots on goal. Having a target striker who is comfortable taking possession of the ball in higher positions will naturally allow United to concentrate their play higher up the field in areas where they can immediately create danger and put stress on the defences of the opposition.
