Neither Hojlund nor Rashford, the new Manchester United goalscorer that excites Ten Hag

One of the big problems that Manchester United had last season is the lack of a striker who could improve the team's scoring rate. The English club did not have the best performance from Weghorst, with Marcus Rashford being the player with the best numbers. However, for this season, the club decided to invest in the Danish Hojlund, who had had an important year with Atalanta in Italy.

The arrival of the Dane was very exciting for the Old Trafford fans, this because he was assimilated, to a certain extent, to a kind of striker of the Haaland style. However, the player's start has been a bit complicated, although we must remember that he is just recovering from an injury. He scored his first goal a few days ago in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich.

Despite this, the team has had to rely on an unexpected scorer, who is not one of those who play up front for Ten Hag. Casemiro was the great star of Manchester United in the 3-0 win by Ten Hag's team against a Crystal Palace that barely overshadowed them in the third round of the other Cup, the Carabao. With his goal, the player is already averaging an important record in his second season with Manchester United.

Casemiro's numbers with Manchester United

In the last three games with Manchester United, Casemiro has recorded three goals and one assist. Nearing his 60th appearance at the club, and playing number 59 against Palace in the EFL Cup, Casemiro connected with Mount's corner kick with a powerful header that left Johnstone with no chance. This was a key moment for the victory of Erik Ten Hag's team, who little by little are beginning to add valuable points in their intention to fight within a complicated Premier League. What is a fact is that the midfielder is at a superlative level with the English club.
