The new factors that coach Erik ten Hag chose really help Man Utd play better pressing
Man Utd got off to a shaky start with consecutive defeats. They lost 4/6 first matches, their performance was extremely poor.
However, the crisis temporarily subsided.
Accordingly, the Red Devils won 2 consecutive matches in the Premier League and Carabao Cup.
.
There, Hannibal Mejbri is the big difference. This young talent was given the opportunity and immediately made his mark.
.
According to Sky Sports, Hannibal averages 100 pressing phases per 90 minutes, the highest in the Premier League. Ranked 2nd is Rasmus Hojlund with 78.8 phases.
Hannibal also averages 14.4 pressing spurts per 90 minutes. This parameter continues to top the Premier League.
With a spectacular long-range shot, Hannibal scored the first goal for the Red Devils, setting off an uproar among all the spectators in the Old Trafford bleachers.
Erik ten Hag, the coach, has since then frequently presented opportunities to Hannibal. He started two straight games, one against Burnley in the Premier League and the other against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup. The fact that Man Utd prevailed in both of these games is unique.
It is not surprising that Man Utd is preparing to negotiate a contract extension with Hannibal.
As for Hojlund, coach Erik ten Hag has the type of striker who is as active as expected.
What the Danish striker has shown since moving to Man Utd is extremely promising. Hojlund just lacks a little luck to have more goals for Man Utd.
